Lots of graduation photos to be expected this time of year. Expressions and interesting angles helped the winners rise to the top. 1) Judges loved the joyful expression compared to the graduates on either side of the main subject. Judges also appreciated seeing someone with Down Syndrome depicted as a high school student excited about graduating as all high school students are. 2) Unusual angle made this photo, Covid protocols being enforced makes the pattern more interesting. 3) The joy on the faces of graduates made judges wish more school had this tradition. Different footwear on each runner was a extra special element.
