Judges Comments
Overall, the photo selection was too wide, we felt that each collection of images could have been edited more tightly. First place: We loved the moments in this story. The amount of time the photographer seemed to have spent with this story outweighed the loose edit. Second place: Again, loose editing, but strong enough photos that it outweighed that negative. Loved the color palette developed through the series. Third place: Interesting take on the story. Too wide, in our opinion, and could be stronger with a tighter edit, especially since all are aerial.
