Judges Comments

The three winners in this lightly contested category were head and shoulders above the rest. Judge was a strong portrait with interesting light. Second place Believe image invites further study and tells you a lot about the guy. It’s much more than a simple environmental portrait. Wishlist clearly belongs with the winners in this group and looks like it should have an important follow up story.
