Judges

  • This image is such a tender moment between a woman and a young girl.
  • This is just a classic moment between these two. Besides capturing the timeless expression on the face and the tender hand on the head, the photographer has made a beautiful and poetic photograph – the shapes of the arms, the tilt of the head and the hair combined with the whiteness of the gowns and the soft light is just beautiful.
