Although the category was small there were some good stories. Most
were good collections of good pictures. The 1st place cafe series
stood out for documenting small town USA. variety of photos showed
time spent hanging out and getting to know the place. It would have
been better if different times of day would have been documented...ie
night or early AM. Had a nice focus.
2nd-- was just a nice series of people having fun on a huge water
slide. It was asked what happened at the end of the slide? Good
expressions and moments. Photographer worked the angles and
different points of view.
3rd--Series of Rodeo photos. It would have been SO much stronger
to follow a single cowboy through the event. Editing would have
helped all as with the Cafe Story. MANY similar pics. Tighter edits on
both the Cafe and Rodeo would have helped.
