Another very light category. We loved the crop on the first-place shot, made that one work. Second-place was a fun portrait, enhanced by the photographer taking the time to light it and have the subject wear the mask. Third place was good use of available light and shadows, but several of the judges thought it was maybe too severe and moody for an athlete portrait.
