First place had some truly stellar frames, but the edit could have been tightened significantly. We especially loved the wide shots — though a few felt slightly too wide — as well as the detail images. Focus on narrowing the package down to only the images that make the story strongest as a whole. Your weakest images will always bring down the overall impact of the package.
Second place featured strong individual frames, but again, there were too many images included. The weaker photographs diluted the strength of the overall package. A tighter edit would have made the story much more effective.
