1st, Trees: We liked the clean composition and the father's and daughter's mirrored gesture, a nice moment for the family at the tree lot.
2nd, leather bags: Very much a documentary style photo, appreciated by us. The photographer took the image up a notch by finding creative framing, adding context to a candid moment.
3rd, AnimeNYC: A very eye-catching image in what may have been a technically challenging scene. The caption would benefit from a little added information for more context.
Hon. Mention, Pier: This and the 3rd place image were very close for the judges. We really liked the clean composition, leading lines, and how the tree continued the lines of the pier. A nice family moment caught in an artistic way.
Judges:
Alan Dep/Marin Independent Journal, Doug Zimmerman/SF Gate, Ethan Swope/Freelance
