Judges Comments

First Place had immediate reaction from us. We felt how tired and couple must be from their long ordeal. The photographer got in the right position without upsetting the natural moment. Second Place had beautiful light throughout the multiple images but a literal translation of the flood was missing. Third Place had a nice opener and closer and was a great idea.
