Northwest – November 2024 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

1st place had no weak photos or redundant photos and we like the brake lights in first image. Lots of a variation in angles and composition. Nice detail with the “I Voted” sticker. All images are well composed especially the election officials from the bed of the truck. 2nd place First photo is great. But there are some redundant images of the cows from above and the two memorabilia photos. 3rd place has a great use of scale in comparing the near 50 ft whale with the landscape and cityscape and individual people. Nice detail photo of the two men removing the blubber. There are some redundant images so it could use a tighter edit.
