    Judge Comment: Nice caption placement throughout and consistent spacing of the photo grid. Watch for orphans in pull quote, body and caption copy.

    Judge Comment: Nice large dominant photo across spread with smaller photos in a variety of sizes. Spacing is mostly consistent between elements except there could be a little more space between right side of dominant photo and body copy. Recommend adding a bit of space in between headline/subhead/body copy and playing with captions extending to full width of photos when underneath. Only one orphan spotted on left side page. Good photo choices showing the breadth of damage.

    Judge Comment: Preferably body copy text doesn’t sit on top of dominant photo, would recommend shifting dominant photo to bleed off top of page and cut off above headline. Like headline treatment with “on” being smaller. Good caption alignment but watch widows/orphans in body and awkward text jump at end of first paragraph. Right page smaller photo may benefit from light white stroke to set dark edges off from black page background.
