13. Third Place
Myra Brizendine-Wilson
★Very Creative
★Gruesome and captured well. The flash
drops the background out effectively
while making clear and crisp the details of
the spider and prey.
★Interesting shot, but after viewing the
larger size I see an overall lack of
sharpness.

14. Second Place
Lindsay Birmingham
★Creative. Good effort. Have seen other
light painting that was much sharper,
though.
★Very Clever. She put some effort in here.
★This one got me to literally say wow, so
kudos on the interpretation of the
assignment
★The focus on the letters seems sharp
enough for light painting, but i'd
recommend gelling a flash and using that
to capture the face instead of using a
flashlight.

15. First Place
Eric Karp
★Great thinking outside the box!
★The capture was near perfect for the
subject matter and the colors in it are
pretty spot on.
★The only one that made me say really
made me say "WOW".
★Would have scored higher if the detail in
the wood of the match wasn't blown out.
★Well Executed.
