    Judge Comment: I really like the details and wide shots in this story. I'd like to see a tighter edit and more information in the cutlines.
  • Competition Comment: A few notes on this group of entries, the order of photos matters, sometimes eliminating redundant photos makes the package stronger and photos with five or fewer subjects prominently featured MUST include their names. That is not optional. There are very few instances where subjects can go unidentified.
