Judges Comment

This black and white photograph has some strong elements to it. Any color would take this strength and intensity away. The cloudy sky in front of these two people opens up the room and the observers mind.

Photographers Comment

I live in NYC, a city that has really drawn me into photography. Taken on a visit to the Met, this was shot (I'm almost embarrassed to say) with my Android phone! The lighting in the museum really lends itself to good photography, and I couldn't pass up this shot. When I looked at it later, I felt like I could almost hear the conversation these two were having. I’m glad you liked it, and as a passionate amateur, I am excited for the recognition and encouragement this brings to my photography.
