Judges Comments

The chalk bag in the photo is such a great moment captured in a way that elevates this usually mundane, unnoticed moment into something much more interesting. It is unique and well thought out. Kudos to the photographer for seeing this. In second, the silhouette is another moment elevated by creative photography. Something expected to be shot in a standard way made better by a good eye. The NFL draft night photo has nice depth and the hands and expressions of the subjects almost lead the viewers perfectly around the photo. Should have included this in the essay, but works as a single too.
