Excellent lighting throughout the category elevates the images.
1) Excellent use of mirrors to add depth. The monochromatic color palette helped this frame rise to the top.
2) Targeted lighting of the couple adds depth separating them from momentos in a home they are about to lose. Caption information elevated this photo.
3)A fresh way to photographed young people. These judges are suckers for frames within frames.
