Judges Comments

We selected images that each delivered a strong emotional impact. The first-place photo was striking, the subject's pain palpable, and we both felt for the family. The second-place image, of the woman leading protesters, conveyed her anger powerfully. The third-place shot, a family on the chamber floor, captured a tender moment between mother and child, enhanced by perfect lighting. The runner-up, another protest image, featured a man with a flag, his face softly lit.
