For 2019 a new category was created for pictures that would be judged by a professional panel (no popular vote in this category)
Any photographer may enter their choice of up to 3 photos. These will be scored on the following criteria:
-Technical Excellence:
Composition
Position
Lighting
Timing
Exposure
Focus
-Overall impression:
Tells a story
Creativity
Captures emotion
Difficulty
*Photoshop Usage* Some use of Photoshop is acceptable (tidying specks and scratches) provided it does not alter the original in a significant way and isn’t particularly noticeable.
