Judges Comments

There were only three entries in this category! Some of the multiple image entries in other categories could have strengthened the competition here, or all three PSES entries could have been entered in other categories as a multiple image entries. 1st - This was a nice look at the game-day challenges of a couple teams in a small baseball league. It gave us a sense that these players love the game despite empty stands and lack of resources. 2nd - Some nice moments in this event coverage that could be helped with a tighter edit. 3rd - This funeral looks to have been a real celebration. The overwhelming visual nature of the event distracts from the emotion, and the edit needs to be tighter.
