NY/International – June 2021 – Portrait/Illustration

Judges Comments

Entries in this category would benefit from more robust captions. It takes more time but is worth the effort to inform the viewer. 1) While this is what judges call a "docu-portrait" , the subject's personality elevated this to first place. 2) Again showed the subject's personality, and good composition. 3) Technical issues brought this portrait down a notch. This frame would have benefited from shifting the controlled light the left or adding a reflector to bounce light into the football player's face.
