This category featured a lot of great color and cleanly shot
compositions, but also a lot of ultra-wide angle photos. Several shots
could have been more cleanly executed at 35 mm instead of 16 or 17
mm.
Third place had the best pure moment, but we wanted to see a better
crop to eliminate some distracting elements in the background.
Second place grew on us as we looked through the category's
entries. We were struck by the expressions on the kids faces, but
wish the bottom of frame was cleaner. Our first place selection was
clean and featured a great use of light.
