Judge's Comments:

Just a few overall comments.

I was surprised at the lack of entries. At this level, students should be shooting much, much more. I encourage you all to embrace the opportunity to make images at every possible occasion.

Many people so not believe in contests, but think of them, and their results as currency. it doesn't matter if you never enter another contest in your life, but right now, this contest gets your name out there, gets your images seen, and a good showing will be a definite plus on what will certainly be limited resumes.

Those who are participating deserve to be congratulated. Those of you who are not, for whatever reason, should be encouraged to. classmates should be encouraging one another, because a friendly competition among peers can do wonders for to motivate some, and teach others.
