Midwest – May 2026 – Portrait

Judges Comments

First: Great use of color, light and aperture to pull us into the photo. Second: Great storytelling and composition. Third: Enjoyed the canted angle, but the exposure was off and the posing seemed awkward. HM: Great tight portrait but would’ve loved to see more of person’s face.

Judges: Ayrton Breckenridge/Clarion Ledger, Lauren Witte/Clarion Ledger
