All of these pictures had good captions, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT to help the judges distinguish what the story is and why the picture is storytelling. First - intimate, beautiful light and wonderful vision. We suspect that the photographer gained trust with the woman to achieve such good access to make this kind of image. Second - A serious and light moment at the same time. Third - We loved this image because of the joyful spirit that was captured and wanted to recognize it with an HM.
