Judges Comments
1st place came to all the judges quickly. The girl's expression juxtaposed to the boys is nice. Suspended leaves in a composed and cropped full frame works well. 2nd place was a fine example of the photographer working a potentially dry situation and making it sing. 3rd is a quiet moment in a war zone. The red image centered makes an effective composition.
