Judges Comments

First place had some really nice layering and combined strong elements into a single frame. Second place was surprisingly well lit after dark. Strong moment that communicates the violence of the situation. Third place was visually very interesting. Might work better as a package with the third photo in the middle to break up the other two. Understandably this sometimes it isn’t possible, but it would have placed higher with a frame of the farmer/owner watching their entire crop go up in flames.
