Judge’s Comments
I like this photo very much for a number of reasons. The low camera angle creates an interesting point of view, with the viewer sharing the couple’s ground level perspective and engaging in the common experience of looking up at the clouds. The ample space given to the sky provides breathing room for the photo, and though the viewer is sharing an intimate moment with the couple, it doesn’t feel intrusive. The subtle color caste adds to the mood with warmth at the bottom of the frame complemented by cool at the top. I also am
struck by the dreaminess of the moment. The couple are connected via their hands and knees, yet they are looking upward rather than at each other, and I wonder what they are thinking. It’s a simple composition without distractions and it just works.
