1st We are wondering why there is no mention of the twister in the
caption. That's what makes this image first place.
2nd great angle, nice light, well composed. Add all of this up, and it
takes a well-earned second.
3rd place had entirely too many redundant photos. Edit this down
from 10 image to 5 and it would have taken first place. It was brought
down by its weaker images. The five I would keep: aerial view, ragged
dress, tight shot of family, family looking over the fence, and the
image with one person lower than the rest looking for Tyson Lucas
Black. Too many other images are at the same distance away from
the subject, offering very similar views that don't add to the
story.
