South – March 2023 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

Judges were intrigued by all the snakes. The photographer did a great job shooting all sorts of scenes to put together this package. A lot of good moments and situations in this piece. Second place started out very strong and a tighter edit would have set it higher in the standings. Could do without the last four photos, among others that could have been edited out. Still, really nice photos and the judges really enjoyed the image of the nuns.
