Judges Comments

Unanimous choice for first! We all loved everything about this: the light, the composition, the smile of pure joy on the girl's face, the kids out of focus in the background. Wonderful. And the country music in the convenience store giving away Thanksgiving dinner, it's a visual feast for sure looking at all the elements of Americana in this store. That it's a Thanksgiving serenade just adds icing to the cake. Third - the horse rolling in the sand, several judges loved this because they found it to be so unusual (non-horse people), and at least a nice clean background. A great find in a feature picture search.
