1st: Such an intimate set, and the range of emotions in a short story is commendable. You were able to get the family to feel completely comfortable being photographed in a vulnerable situation, which is always tough to do. 2nd: Nice variety, with people/details/environment, and some foreground elements gave some fun layering. Could've used one less image of the launch site/base. 3rd: Really cool found light, perfect for a more general news story related to that prison system. Alternate (Holy Procession): Also dramatic light here, going wider to catch the shadows on the pillars was the right one.
