Not a lot of submissions in this category, but the judges really liked the lighting in the first place image. It's a good example of using available light to the advantage during a portrait situation. Second place was well composed and had a sweet moment with the girl and the goat. We chose third place because it gave us a sense of the story of the woman closing down her restaurant using available light to set the mood.
