Judges Comments

ST-A spectacular array of images that capture the environment, emotion, detail and scope of the event. ST-grads. We all agreed there was one really strong image by itself that would have won this spot, it didn’t need the others, but we can see the photographer really worked all over this event and go a good mix of emotion, details, symmetry and well timed shots, but it would have gotten second on one image as well. LL Graduation, it was clear they really worked the event, the moments like the little girl twirling in the dress. LL-protest Really creative detailed shots, but could have been edited tighter. Excellent capture of the density of the crowd and the emotion within it. DN-protest, great images showing people’s voices engaged in topics that could be important to everybody. Graduation ST-A good rounding if images to bring us into a delicate situation with the funeral. The detail of tears in one image, and the cutaway image of the helmet presents a good package.
