Judges Comments
We appreciated the concept of the first place image (though we did see the cut-off face mask as a bit of a distraction). We were drawn to the expression in the second place image. Third place we would have liked to see a different crop or framing that eliminated the negative space on the right side of the image while still maintaining the mood/sense of isolation being portrayed.
