This was probably the weakest category overall. The winner was nice, emotional. Its one of the few frames of people holding a photo we actually liked-which is impressive. Second is the wrestler and Bravo on the lighting. This is a hard lighting setup to make great and they did. We opted for the cow photo for 3rd as it brought us all a lot of joy. But overall the lighting was lacking. The cow needs to be toned down and the guy could use a little more of his own personality. He seems a little posed.
