South – July 2025 – Feature/Single

Judges Comments

Really strong category, competitive, with nice moments. However the top three rose to the top almost immediately. First place was a remarkably fun moment with great light and good subject placement. Second was another inspiring photographic moment, again with good subject placement and a strong foreground combined with sweet light. Third was a good use of light, a good somber moment. The crop was a little loose on the bottom, but still, a pretty frame.
