Competition Comment: These exhibit the most technically sound, high quality, interesting images. These are the most professional and stand out above the others. First place captures a moment in time, but so much more - emotion, friendship, lasting meaning, extraordinary composition (out of the ordinary), and celebration that will not be forgotten. Second place photos are probably the most professional looking. They also capture emotion, elation, and hold great meaning for the readers.
