NY/International – April 2024 – Portrait

Judges Comments

First place had nice light, seemed like the most thoughtful portrait. Our second we liked but it was pretty loose and we really wanted the subject to maybe move into the other chair so he was a little more prominent, or really move him further into the foreground so he doesn’t get lost in the clutter. Third place is beautiful, set up but not exactly a portrait between the photographer and subject, wish they could have taken her aside to do their own portrait.
