1-Once again this was a weak category, although we know how difficult and random spot news is. The mall shooting photo took first place because it’s not something you normally see every day. The juxtaposition of the mannequins was also nice. 2- The judges liked how this fire was photographed as more of a landscape. 3- Third place was a nicely framed image of a house fire.
