South – May 2017 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

First place was a slam dunk right off the bat and continued to wow after each image. It felt like a National Geographic expedition. We wished our papers sent us abroad. Second place was tightly edited and had great individual shots. Third place is newsworthy, access, and had some stunning individual shots. Could have been a bit tighter, there were three law enforcement photos.
