Some great work in this photo story category but almost all of the entries could have benefitted from a tighter edit. First place story had incredibly stunning images and displayed a great variety that showed unprecedented access. Second place story also had incredibly heartfelt images and captured how comfortable those being photographed were with the photographer. Third place has equally beautiful images but could have been edited tighter to tell the story.
