JUDGES' COMMENTS
"I think there's an interesting story going on there, but I am troubled by the technique in all these. Just because something is photojournalism is not an excuse for poor technique."
ROBERT SEALE, Staff Photographer, The Sporting News
"To me, in this category, I think emotion is more important than technical. On this kind of story I don't care about the composition. This is just a story about emotion. I've seen many, many stories about children on streets. This is in Ukraine and it spoke to me. This is a good story. This is a good photojournalism story. I know many historical photos that were not focused well and are important in history."
JEAN-FRANCOIS LEROY, General Manager, Visa Pour L'Image International Photojournalism Festival, France
"I will dispute the lack of quality. We have been exposed to pictures that we are led to believe were done on purpose in a crappy way. In this particular picture story, which I like, it's well-composed. The pictures are well-chosen. It tells a story in a strong way."
HORACIO VILLALOBOS, Director of Photography, Diario Popular, Argentina
