The following statements were the critiques received by the judging photographers

"I felt that Fernando Deanda was the best choice.  His lighting was fairly good and the environment he chose for his model was appealing.  He also demonstrated a sense of design that the other photographers didn't show."

"Fernando has excellent use of light, flat, warm and complimentary to the model as well it helps create the mood."                                                                                                     

"Fernando Deanda had two images that were similar in style.  Although the coloring was a bit yellow for my taste, there were elements of composition, theme and posing that seemed to be lacking with many of the other entries."
