New England – April 2024 – Portrait

Judges Comments

A good handful of portraits here. The other photos didn’t quite fit the essence of a portrait. The three that stood out were well exposed, composed and engaged. First was a witch shop owner. We like the lighting and the beyond the scene look of the photo. The added lighting of a retired U.S. Navy Chief and lighthouse made this shot more effective on an overcast day. The dramatic lighting of the British officer made a nice third place finish.
