CATEGORY: FEATURE (CPOY 62) Judge's comments

We have two car pictures and two from the Vietnam orphan edge.
The family of fourteen is much richer.
The kid going into the tent...
It's a photograph that I could live with on my wall.
The suburban kids..
You know what hurts it for me, the kids on the left... (this picture) feels so fifteen like there is nothing to do.
Great color. Great color.
It's very now.
Can someone talk about the cow?
The hamburger, I don't get.
The kiss, it is a great moment, but technically....
This is a Missouri picture. This is POY picture. It is a black and white moment.
We all respond to this on a human level.
I care.
I don't want to knock it.
There is a fair amount of frustration that something was missing.
Why are you frustrated?
The basics are the moments.
The intimacy. The emotion.
The human condition.
This one is okay. It does what it is suppose to do.
In illustration it was all about perfection. Here it is about intimacy.
Especially in a feature situation
Even if it is just eating at the table.
It lacks intimacy.
What is the moment there?
It is a child being a child.
It puts you there.
