Judges

  • The body language of both subjects made this image rise above the rest. The arc of the woman's posture at left was surprising in nature. It was a nice contrast to the slump of the man at right. The composition was simple and clean, and the light was strong. Loved the tennis shoes the man was wearing, it's a nice subtle detail. Good work.
  • This image also had a strong composition complimented by the moment and body language between the pair.
