The judges felt the category was stacked. Virtually every entry was solid. Amazing sequencing and multiple scene elements packed into these daily turns are two components evreyone should strive to include in their daily stories. Typically there isn't that much time in our days to finesse a detailed sequence. However, if we constantly practice our basic storytelling and technical skills, when the time does come where we have a great shoot and time to edit, we're able to make magic with ease. It's apparent to us that this group of photographers seem to subscribe to that philosophy. The unique, visual, and compelling story appeared...each was prepared to tell it! "We Gotta Clean Up" did this better than any of the other entries in a very strong field.
