South – August 2023 – General News

Judges Comments

Overall all there were a ton of strong photos in this category, many looked great in thumbnails with colors and clean backgrounds popping, but the winners told the rest of the story. A few multiples may have faired better as singles. And check before you file, there was a multiple that was missing a third image and a entry on feature single that seemed like it was a multiple that was for General news. Both could have had a shot. 1. At first glance judges thought tent-church revival, but the framing and action in this shot stood out above the rest. 2. Judges were torn on this, as one wished for a higher angle and the other wished for a lower. The silhouette with side lighting made it close to being first. 3. Rob really liked this one and how you didn’t need to read the caption to get a lot more context.
