The composition and depth of the first place photo made this an easy
choice. It had a nice moment and nice light as well. Second place
captured a peak action moment. Judges especially liked the
expression on the defender's face. That secondary bit of information
in the pictured elevated it above some other well-done football action
photos in the category. The third place photo with the ball in the frame
made for a nice tight action shot. The creative use of fog as dead
space warranted an honorable mention.
