Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Rappahannock Record Entry Title: October is here Entry Credit: AnnGardner Eubank Judge Comment: This is one of those photos that just draws you in. Great job of capturing the emotion of the moment. The subject is priceless ... with his shorts and dress coat. In my opinion the only thing that would have made it better would have been tighter cropping on the right side to put him squarely in the rule of thirds. Nonetheless, definitely worthy of first place!
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Rappahannock Record Entry Title: Improv Musical Entry Credit: Robert Mason Jr. Judge Comment: Very nice and effective photo. The couple on the right makes it, with their over-the-top acting. Nice job of using the rule of thirds to guide the reader to the most interesting aspect of the picture. Exposure is good, too – which is not always easy to do with stage photos. Second-place winner!
