Judges Comments
First place was full of emotion and the photographer had great access, this quickly rose to the top for us. Second showed great composition and was a nice scene from an ongoing story. The detailed caption was refreshing, although some of it was redundant. Third place was a great natural moment, with nice framing and a complete caption.
