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) A sweet moment between high school prom dates is elevated by the stark contrast of colors. Greet seeing on the photographer's part to put themselves in the right place and wait for the best couple to arrive. 2) The white outfit and wall of white water jumped out to judges. We could feel her cooling off and enough of her face is showing for the added touch of human emotion. 3) A sweet little moment that is classic newspaper photojournalism. The joy on her face, clean background, side-lit bubbles, and mermaid bathing suit -- what's not to love?
