Judges’ Statement: “This portrait is beautifully executed, showcasing a strong and intentional composition supported by thoughtful use of light, contrast, and environment. The water adds a sense of movement and levity, enhancing depth and emotion without distracting from the connection between the subjects, which remains the clear focal point. From the chosen angle, the sharpness of the eyes across varying depths of field is well handled, and the natural skin tones are expertly exposed without excessive retouching, preserving an authentic look. Subtle direction from the photographer is evident in the physical connection of the couple, the soft light interacting with the water’s surface, and the contrasting clothing choices, all combining to create a compelling and emotionally engaging portrait.”
