First place had some really powerful imagery. The photographer obviously took a lot of time and effort on the project to gain the trust of the subjects. Although second place was similar to the first place submission, there were some very powerful photos. The third place winner gave a good sense of the scene and judges really liked the drone photo in the last slide. All three photo stories could've used a tighter edit.
