Midwest – July 2020 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

We felt the story of the new church being finished was better as a whole than other stories. A little bit more depth than the others. Second was story on a beekeeper, which has some good images but hurt by too many detail shots of bees, a much tighter edit would have strengthened the entry. Third was a COVID19 graduation, which while relevant and timely, was way too many images that were dull or redundant. A few frames pulled it into third place.
