"Cannabis farmers and workers often use the charasthey collect during their labor for themselves, so it isn't something casual cannabis users know about. But fresh charasis a treat. It's the very definition of a "Green thumb!" it is very hands on work." Paul Stanford, Photo Cup Judge

3^rd

"Beautiful photograph. This is a well-balanced shot that establishes a sense of place and creates a narrative. The muted tones are lovely. The subject's positioning is strong. His raised arm guides the eyes up into the center of the photograph and the color of the flame in the foreground carries through into the distant sunset from left to right, which works well because that's how we naturally read photographs." Monica Lo, Photo Cup Judge

3^rd

"Powerful shot and crispy textures." Monica Lo, Photo Cup Judge

"Friends sharing a spliff after a long day in the fields. The coarse nature of the image adds to the earthy feeling." Jorge Cervantes

3^rd

"This photograph has strong photojournalistic qualities. The framing of the subject within the timber structure is effective and beautiful. The subject is facing the camera, and his stance suggests a sense of confidence and authority. The natural sunlight falls softly on his shoulders and creates a slow gradient down his torso, which draws my attention to his hands, which are not only positioned well, but reflect his age and suggest he has story to share." Kristen Angelo, Photo Cup Judge
