Judges

  • It's one of those images where everything adds to the image, and because of the angle the photographer took, all of the details are included. The shoes, the dog, the flowers spread around, and the composition all helped to make this shot of the sleeping young boy.
  • Two sleepyheads mirror one another in this beautiful, sensitive image. The photo has strong compositional elements that speak to the relationship between boy and dog.
