Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Smithfield Times Entry Title: Car meets house Entry Credit: Stephen Faleski Judge Comment: Good composition considering the location of the car and the tree. Would have been better if there was a person in the image.
Place Name: Alternate Winner Contestant Name: The Tidewater News Entry Title: Collision on Meherrin Road involves Southampton deputy Entry Credit: Titus Mohler Judge Comment: Good job on getting a person in the photo. Composition could have been better if the photographer had shot the image from behind and up the side of the car.
Competition Comment: Underwhelmed with the contest entries. When challenged with situations where there are no people to photograph, the photographer should think out of the box and consider different line of sight positions for capturing the image instead of standing straight on.
