SPOT NEWS

Judges only chose to award points to two pictures. First- You feel a connection with a person in this photo and there’s also a bigger sense of what’s going on conveyed. Second- You really get a sense of scale and drama by juxtaposing the lone firefighter with the burning building complex. More of a crop would elevate the photo further.

MULTI-PHOTO

Comments: Some general feedback for all photographers. Make sure to be selective with your photos, don’t add photos for the sake of bulking up a story. Also, think about the story you’re telling. Multiple styles in one collection of photos don’t
make a cohesive story. And it’s always good to pay attention to details when telling a story and making sure they get the same attention when crafting them as other moments. First- Each image is well crafted, but there is some repetition within the series. Second- Some great moments, but it would make a stronger story if the photographer was more selective in their edit. We would recommend to also be more intentional with the framing. Third- There are nice compositions in many of the photographs, but think about what you want the portraits and details to tell you as part of the story.
