Judges Comments

1st place- nice story, a few strong images, but could have been edited tighter. A few of the images seemed repetitive. 2nd place, very nice moment. Might have been first place if the sign on the left had been cropped out either while taking the photo or in post-processing, it is quite distracting 3rd place- the judges really liked the emotion in the last image, but again wished it had been cropped tighter. We felt that the package was missing some details shot.

Judges: Michelle McLoughline/independent, Jessica Hill/Independent, Melanie Carol Stengel/independent
