The first place photo is a really different and graphic way of looking at action. The silhouettes are a compelling way to illustrate runners on a track and the feet of the runners still stand out which makes the composition far stronger than if it was only shadows. The second place image is a tender moment and has a good sense of composition with the three fans next to each other and hand cutting across all of them. The third place image is a strong peak celebration moment and was shot cleanly. Our alternate (baseball kids clapping) captures a warm moment in a very clean manner.
