New England – October 2025 – Spot News

Judges Comments

First: We like the moment, composition and juxtaposition that shows the actual crash. Additionally, we appreciate the effort the photographer took to obtain proper identifications even in spot news. Second: The photo can be stronger with a longer focal length. Third: The photographer worked the scene long after the crash to find a storytelling moment with good composition.
