Judges Comments

First place rose to the top really quickly for both of us. We liked how it captured a lot of different emotions in the frame. The girl in the middle grabs your attention but the viewer is drawn into the different faces of the crowd that adds to the moment. Second place captures the crunch of the media and the importance of the subject. This can be a difficult image to get with everyone jostling for position. Third place is a pretty clean image for the most part and it benefitted from the contrasting colors and expression of the subject.
