Judges Comments

A solid category as a whole. The surfing photos did not place but there were a couple of shots in the submmission that should have been entered as singles, including one in SPAC and not SPFT. First place: Another classic baseball photo but would have liked it cropped tighter. The clean background makes it. Second Place : Not sure if there would have been enough pixels to do this but it would have been stronger had they cropped it into a horizontal photo eliminating the out of focus kids in the foreground. Third place : Different type of golf photo, nice graphical elements.
