1. First rose right to the top, this is a very nice image.
2. We liked the whimsical nature of this image.
3. This was night use of light, and a well done black and white photo.
Alt. We liked the composition, and angle, and then we saw the person giving it scale.

Comments overall for all categories: This is a very strong group of photographers—as we expected. In the multiple-image categories, every frame should push the story forward. Some images felt unnecessary. As an old editor once said: If in doubt, take it out.
A few images needed cropping, better composition, or improved exposure. Still, this is a strong overall showing. Nothing stood out as so weak that it didn’t belong in the contest. You’re doing excellent work—especially in such a tough industry. Keep going. Get closer. Keep finding those storytelling moments.
