- Judges' Comments
If I could give it an award higher than first I would. Incredible story-telling, hitting the highs on everything: excellent research and working to get close to the subjects, poignantly photographed and edited, elegant design, captions well done, and most importantly the newspaper gave it the space it needed.
This was the most thorough and intimate look at the loss of an Iraq war casualty’s family. The degree of access that the photographer got, the selection of the photographs and their presentation was outstanding. There were a lot of images but I never felt that there were too many.
Great vision. Great storytelling. Great editing.
“Final Salute” is an extraordinary set of pictures. This story begins with a soldier’s death and follows the trail of grief and pain the loss brings to loved one on home front.
