By far the weakest category, and tough to choose from. Our eye went immediately from woman's expression in first place image to the destruction of the home above, telling a clear story which gave it the edge. Second place had good framing and also told story clearly, though the laughter in both men's expressions made us think that perhaps they were not yet comfortable with photographers presence. A more offbeat moment or expressions would have served the image better.
