Midwest – January 2024 – Portrait

Judges Comments

1.) Classic looking frame. The choice to show the tonality with B&W helped drive this shape-driven composition. 2.) This would have risen to the top had the subjects be looking either at the camera or the same direction. Still, the quality of light, composition and story-telling ability helped this one to place. 3.) The more you look the more we liked. Beat up guitar, struming in the moment. Good stuff.
