Judges Comments
In the first place photo, the crowded frame really aids in the storytelling and creates a really interesting composition. The viewer really gets to know the character and the photo keeps attention for a while. The second place photo is a great scene setting portrait, where we get to know the people and their environment. It also has a great quality of light and moment. The third place portrait is very dignified and has a fantastic composition.
