New England – April 2026 – Portrait

Judges Comments

1st place to the photographer for seeing (we hope setting up) the window business owner reflected in a window with a bunch of his windows. 2nd place to the inviting photo of the timber business owner walking with his dog. We all wanted to be on that walk with him. 3rd place for the colorful, weird, scary clown. HM to the disabled weight lifter. We wanted to see more of his face and less of the background.
