East – November 2025 – Portrait

Judges Comments

We would have loved to have seen the first place photo from a higher perspective, but the quirky scene was still the best in this group. Second place had a fun pose and good use of natural light. Third place was excellent use of framing for the composition and had a really informative caption. The alternate was a good use of artificial light that could have benefitted from a few less distracting background elements.
