Judges Comments:

Frank – 83 – simplicity, curves and diagonal lines. Good visual impact. Title – you know its a staircase with grandeur – but think about titles that can create an emotion – give a title with impact. 99% of a great photograph – just change title.

2nd PLACE – “DEVINE GRANDEUR” – Sherrie Fryxell
Judges Comments:
-
Devine Grandeur – Stained glass window – 82
-
Frank – its been said – wants to see presentation of a better pin stripe – was not obvious – take a color around it as the matching color to one in the image. To have a gray mat w/ a black image background – the mat is washed out – but the brilliance of the photograph does not fit the mat.
-
Ken – 84 – likes nice story telling w/ cross and the church and the deep colors – well done.
-
3rd PLACE – “4 to 1” – Sherrie Fryxell
Judges Comments:
-
4 2 1 – 81 – person w/ umbrella under a building entrance
-
Bovat – gave it an 80 – likes tonal range, subject placement is good. Title was tough – the “one” is the person. Have to think about it – may not be the ideal tittle for this. Can be a good thing
-
Frank – 82 – liked the impact – simplicity, simplicity, when you have a great composition like this, when you can’t help but look at the umbrella in the image, and nothing else is distracting, you have a good technical good photograph. Good exposure.
