Southeast – June 2026 – Feature/Single

Judges Comments

The first-place image wasn't hurt by the subject looking at the camera. It was the best human-interest feature that gave a good "summer vibe". Good use of motion in the second-place photo. Third-place image could use a tighter crop, but it’s a good moment.
