We awarded images mostly on whether we felt the image brought us close to the action and how easily we could read the scene. First place was the closest we got inside the tackle and could see eyeballs. Second place was nice because it showed both opponents and the pitcher's great expression. For third place, we were hoping for more clarity on the ball, but the tight crop and goalie's gesture was a winner.
