[Leica] World Photo Awards: What makes these great?

[Frank Filippone]

I do not understand what makes these pictures so great that they win a
major award.  I am serious.  I want to learn.  I see nothing in most and
only a glimmer of work in the others that would get the taker to the goal
line.  And yet, he won the whole enchilada.

On the LUG we have an amazing amount of talent, many pros from all types of
photography.  We discuss in depth what makes our own images good or bad.
So I ask you all....
What makes these images great?
