Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Amherst New Era-Progress Entry Title: Sorghum Festival rings in fall festival season Entry Credit: Lee Luther Jr. Judge Comment: Good variety of image and some nice moments. I like some of the details and the photographer worked hard to get variety. They need to work harder to get names in the captions for images with fewer than three or four people. The photo of the little girl dancing with the man is darling, but who are they? There are a couple of images that would have been stronger if they were more tightly cropped, too.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Nelson County Times Entry Title: Nelson drama students hit the stage for 'Charly's Aunt' Entry Credit: Lee Luther Jr. Judge Comment: Shooting stage productions is always fun and there are some nice moments here. The photographer paid good attention to composition and cropping throughout.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Nelson County Times Entry Title: Steampunk exhibit Entry Credit: Lee Luther Jr. Judge Comment: Interesting story about an unusual art exhibit. Some good images here, but the photographer could have used lensing and composition more strongly.
