Judges Comments
First-It's a nice moment and composition. Sometimes these events are so chaotic it's hard to focus on a moment. Second-Even though it's just a press conference from yet another mass shooting, the emotion is real and strong. Third-The caption helped when we learned the display is about this little girl's father. It's a touching and sweet moment from a sad situation.
