Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Rappahannock News Entry Title: Human in nature Entry Credit: Luke Christopher Judge Comment: Lighting, backdrop, and subject make for a nice photo that draws the reader's eye. Good use of rule of thirds. Not fond of subject looking off the photo but photographers can't always pose their shots. Nice work.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: The Recorder Entry Title: Splash Entry Credit: Gavin Dressler Judge Comment: Excellent timing color, and movement. Would have liked to see more of the facial expression but photo certainly draws attention. Good shot.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: The Smithfield Times Entry Title: Apothecary Entry Credit: Stephen Faleski Judge Comment: Vertical shot works well in this instance. Nice angle and interesting look that makes the reader want to learn more.
Competition Comment: Interesting category, and one that I've never judged before.
Truly is a category where the winners depend on view of the judge.
