# Cautions carried from each entry
# - The Decisive Moment: The moment gets confused with speed, so the shutter fires on a burst before the lines and shapes inside the frame have finished assembling.
# - Photo Essay: Good pictures get lined up without a sequence being designed, every spread arrives at the same pitch, and the reader loses any reason to turn the page.
