We originally had the first place photo in our top 3, but after reading the caption it got elevated to first. It was of guys trying to save a cow as a wildfire approached. Second place was of a plane dropping retardant on a wildfire. We liked that it was shot a little looser to show more of the fire. Third place was of a water drop from a helicopter. It was unique and not an angle that you normally see.
