South – December 2024 – Portrait

Judges Comments

1st: A very smart concept for a portrait that tells the story between the two people so well, and really makes you stop and look. The dark, shadowy tone also helps communicate the story, well done. 2nd: Great choice to go wider and capture the environment, this one made the judges smile. 3rd: Another good use of environment, and strong work with the lights and placement of the boxer. Alternate (composite works): Love the natural light, just wish we could've either seen a little bit more of his face or the facility while still maintaining that contrast.
