Northwest – February 2022 – Portrait/Illustration

Judges Comments

Each of the Portrait winners were selected because of their ability to help inform the view of the subject's character. First place image of the bus driver emerged as a consensus favorite. Well-lit and easily read, we also appreciated the informative caption. We liked the clean, loose composition of the second place portrait of the boxer which drew us into the athlete's personality. Third award was a very nicely-rendered portrait - using details to effectively convey information.
