1. We selected this first because it doesn’t show the obvious but provokes the viewers desire to learn more. Fortunately, the caption does just that. Exposure executed nicely.
2. Great environment gives viewers a sense of place for this diver’s work.
3. Stark lighting makes this performer pop out from the dark. Her body language speaks to her profession. The moment was captured skillfully with the challenging lighting conditions.
4. ALTERNATE Nice use of window light to make a simple portrait of this painter. Turning off the overhead track lights might have made more shadows to give this image some depth. A very static portrait could have added a bit more life by getting closer to the subject or framing the artist with the paintings.
