Judges Comments
First is exactly what one wishes for in these situations— a quirky moment that makes you laugh. Excellent work on the photographer’s part by deciding to follow the giant gorilla. The child playing with trucks at the trucking event has good composition but needed some emotion from the child to make the top three.
