Judge’s Comments:
Our eyes are initially drawn to the face of the woman looking out. Only a portion of the face is illuminated, but that is enough. She appears to be contemplating a world we cannot see, we can only imagine. She seems to be asking, who am I? What opportunity lies ahead for me? Will I change, will I be changed? What is my identity? And then our eyes are drawn back into the hallway to a second woman, seemingly less contemplative, seemingly more certain about who she is. The rich colors of the vertical blinds, the other receding lines, make the photograph appear three dimensional and help to make it a great photograph.
