First place has photos that tell a concise story, but suffers from technical issues. Second place has some strong photos, but felt short of telling a story with depth. More time with more diverse images would have carried it to the top.
“The category is intended for more in-depth work including photo essays, picture stories, investigative/documentary work, sequences, or series. Images from planned events or sporting events may be entered in this category but ONLY if they possess a narrative arc through the entry.”
Some of these entries do not demonstrate a story or narrative, but rather a collection of images, some redundant, from one event.
