JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
This
photograph stood out in the category with the fewest amount of
entries. It was a different idea that a standard portrait of the
a line of people. The subjects are spaced in such a way to lead
your eye around the frame in a pleasing manner.
Looks like a scene from, “The Sound of Music.”
This image has a nice feel with the movement of the girls. The
photographer was able to capture their joy.

PLACE - Amy Deputy / Maryland

JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
It
is never easy doing a large family portrait of this magnitude,
but the photograph found a great way to pull it off. The staircase
works and the color and lighting also helps.
Good use of stairs.
