Just a sweet, tender moment of discovery nicely handled.

4th Place: Joe Craig from Pennsylvania, United StatesJudges Comments
When I saw the requirements for this category I was hoping to see some strong graphic images and not the run of the mill band shot. This one is a clear standout. The composition of the pipes and the framing of the singer help create a really dynamic image. Well done.

Color enhances the mood in this one -- it’s got a lot of energy.

10th Place: John Zich from Illinois, United StatesJudges Comments
The two girls and three guys behind them are great. Good solid lighting. The only thing that bothers me and keeps this image from being stronger is the woman on the far left.

Great documentary feel to it - made me feel like I was on the streets of New Orleans.

A nice decision by the photographer to work with the available light. The shadows created by the musician’s hat help to create the mood of a jazz club.

Great angle and the longer lens help to make this a strong image.

The bride has her time onstage beautifully captured -- the subtle colors complete the composition too.

Nicely composed with the microphone in front of the singer's face and also has a great color palate.

Good job by the photographer to identify an interesting subject and then to capture that subject during a good moment between his music and the people in the background. I get a real sense of enjoyment.
