Judges Comments
1. Great seeing for the "Dance" image. We suggest cropping from the bottom for effectiveness, so the in-focus faces pop more. 2. This photo evokes lots of feelings, which is what we like. the floating petals really give a sense of motion and adds to the refreshing portrayal of this season. 3. Nice juxtaposition of faces, especially of the mural's, that tie this image together. A bit of cropping from bottom and left also could tighten it up more.
