Judges Comments
The first place image made us stop and look — the tiara adds something surreal, in addition to the juxtaposition between the activity and the rest of her appearance. The second place image captures a way to connect the family moment and the public setting on the capitol steps. The third image had uncommon emotion from a public figure.
