Judges Comments

First place: Multiple photo entries don't always work, but we found that this set of photos really pulled everything together by showing the people impacted by the storm along with a dramatic photo of the damage. Second place: The colors, atmosphere and contrast between the two subjects of this photo make it stand out. The background story, which is included in the caption, helps elevate it even more. Third place: We love this sweet, intimate moment. Unfortunately, the caption is really lacking vital information. We had to use context clues from the image to piece together the story.
