Judges Comments
Just a few entries here - surprising given the outbreak of the fires California was contending with - but a couple of nice submissions nonetheless. First place - Good variety of angles and moments from a challenging photographic environment. Second place - Nice framing and light. Third place - A captivating moment elevated by the presence of the man's dog.
