Justin received a perfect score of 100 for his photograph, about which the judge said: “This is a silent and poignant photo, and was set apart from other images of the wildfire through the sensitive eye of the photographer. The photographer conveyed the tragedy of the event with a compassionate dignity for the victim. The image brings the horrible reality of the fires to readers in a subtle, haunting realization”.
