Second place features a great expression and fun moment (also with good caption info). Judges think the second place photo would benefit from a tighter crop. Third place: Great composition and nice light. Honorable mention mentions; judges saw many variations of “fall foliage” photos - but believe this one was the most successful. Nice color contrast and good composition. 1. David Bloom/Postmedia

PORTRAITComments: First place: We like the thought process for this photo - it’s not an obvious portrait. Illustrates the story well. Second place: Well composed, shows great personality and good relationship between subject and photographer. Judges would like if the bench on bottom was cropped out. Third place: Interesting lighting technique but relies too much on the technique.

MULTI-PHOTOComments: Overall a very disappointing category. Entries either had too many photos that watered down the series, or too few with an undeveloped story. We chose to just reward one entry. Story showed intimacy with subject and followed them to different situations key to telling the story. Could use more interaction and emotion. 1. Jesse Winter/The Star Vancouver
