Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Tyler Junior College Entry Title: Winter storm Entry Credit: Garrison Nichols Judge Comment: The information in the caption is helpful for understanding the context, and I think the photographer properly thought about depth of field and composition.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: UT-Tyler Entry Title: Fiery Car Wreck on Old Omen Entry Credit: Luke Spence Judge Comment: Image could have sharper focus. Human interest and exposure are strong here.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Tyler Junior College Entry Title: Evidence Entry Credit: Baleigh Davis Judge Comment: The exposure is good, but there is not enough information in the cutline to know what is happening here.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: Dallas College - Eastfield Entry Title: Winter storm Entry Credit: Rory Moore Judge Comment: I like the inclusion of the tire tracks that appear to have swerved or lost traction, but I think greater attention could have been given to that by changing the angle and composition. Otherwise it looks like a typical snowy street.
Competition Comment: The top photos of this contest showed evidence of thoughtful composition, human interest and subject matter.
