Judges Comments
The first image felt genuine. The photographer did a nice job or positioning the subject so we didn't get distracted by the background. The second image was a nice, quiet moment. The third image had good light and composition. But next time try to get creative, we've seen this basketball pose a million times. A little pre-shoot research alway helps!
