I don't get it.  The underwater ones are nice but most of the others look
like snapshots.  The ones on her website
http://www.in-public.com/autiofolio.html  all look underexposed and too
contrasty.  Can somebody explain why these photos are exceptional?

I liked the work on her website.

They are dark and rather mysterious.  Since there are many this way, I
suspect it's intentional rather than a faulty meter.

I'm not sure about how exceptional they are as a body of work unless I got
to
compare with others in the competition.....

This award was intended to aid modern photojournalism and I readily admit I
know little about the trends of modern photojournlism.  But this work seems
to fly in the face of traditional, straight, WYSIWYG, type stuff.  Quite
frankly I like some of the stuff she's doing in her photos to ..."tell a
story."  But I wonder how traditional PJs would view this or pj work that is
in this ilk.
