Judges Comments

First place stood out to us right away and once we read the caption we applauded the composition and nature of a true found moment. Well done. Second place was a very nice, quiet moment that was framed well and showed the whole scene and tone of the event quickly Third place was a great moment. We commiserated with photographer being plagued with phone photographers getting in the way of a shot. But in what looked like a hectic scene, a nice frame was made nonetheless Honorable mention to new year's at noon. A great moment but we thought a better crop would have brought us into the moment faster and cleaned up the image
