    Judge Comment: This image illustrates the difference between a picture being taken and a photograph being "made" Photo is posed, focused, evenly lit and there is attention to composition with subject framed by leading lines of the street and surrounding trees. An environmental portrait should be posed and should show evidence of deliberate decisions by the photographer
