West – November 2023 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

1st place- The photographer did a great job at using the available light to make a compelling set of pictures. We loved the shot of the container of grapes being thrown. It can be hard to freeze motion like that with such little light. We get a great sense of the environment and the nature of the operation itself. Well done! 2nd place- Good coverage of a protest. Gives the viewer a good idea of what happened during the event. Nice variety of scenes. 3rd place- Fun scenes, interesting light.
