Judges Comments
First - The image immediately jumped out to the judges. It has all the elements of a compelling portrait - interesting composition and an interesting looking subject. Second - The body language and the subject's eyes draw you in and make one wonder what's really happened. Third - The color and composition make for a well-executed portrait.
