Midwest – September 2020 – Portrait/Illustration

Judges Comments

This was a surprising category. The winners were obvious but not expected. First place was so professionally executed we expect to see it win more awards. It is a beautiful series of portraits with excellent stories, great poses and great light. Great idea. Second place was a fun picture of an unusual person. It deserved an unusual photo. Well done. Third place was a good idea and executed well but needed more cutline info.
