Central – August 2025 – Portrait

Judges Comments

1st. Solid lighting and clean composition. We contemplated the focus on her front eye or her back eye and which would have been best. We still don't know, but it's a nice portrait either way. 2nd. The photographer handled this portrait well. Really well composed and the low angle works. 3rd/ Interesting portrait for an interesting story. The image seems a little heavily toned, but we cut it some slack since it's a portrait.
