Judges Comments
This category demands good cutline information. First place stopped us cold with the great light and composition and the cutline solidified it's position. There was a lot of discussion on the next two but ultimately the moment in the meal delivery photo won out, despite it's less than perfect composition. We like how the photographer got low for third place and the funeral series got HM because it had some nice moments and light, but also some redundancy and uninspired photos.
