Judges Comments

First place is a strong storytelling moment of protestors running to put out a fire. The mirrored body language of the people running captures the quick reaction and risk of them not getting to the fire in time. One judge loved the graduates positions in the swirling water and the overall aesthetics of the image but the other felt there weren't enough different expressions for it to rise to the top. The prayer is a nice, quiet moment telling the story of the solitary and quiet nature of the lives we may be living and the peace brought by prayer.
