South- January 2022 – Portrait/Illustration

Judges Comments

Not the strongest category, we would have liked to see more of the portraits lit. First place had nice light and chill mood. Second place was more of an emotional moment than an actual portrait, but it told the story. Nice use of the mirror in the third-place picture, but it needed a better crop. A little less space on the left.
