West – January 2021 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

The first place story has beautiful images, though they are all wide-angle and we would have liked to see more variety. Second place story again had some redundancies and could have been edited down. We also wish we saw a photo of members of the public reacting to this heightened security in their city. Lastly, we were not entirely convinced by the sequencing of the images either, specifically the opener and ender.
