The pain in this mother's face made this photo the winner right away. The fact the we can also see the daughter's face on her t-shirt added more to the story. Maybe a better crop to get the nothing space on the right side would make this photo better, but the face says it all. Second place is a beautiful photo with a great angle on the priest to let the church ceiling frame him and lead us to the subject. Everything from the exposure to the lens choice was very purposeful. Third: a different angle on the protest elevated this one to third.
