New England – February 2026 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

We thought first place had a good variety with lens changes and good caption info to start the story off. Well done all around. Second place was a good look at this man's life as he recovers. However, we would have loved more caption info. Surely someone that eccentric had a couple good quotes. The toning of each image changing despite the same setting effected the image's impact.
