First: The faces and emotion/urgency in the image really raise it above the rest. It is also technically the best of the entries (sharpest and most well lit.)
Second: Good peak moment. Very strong emotion on the girls face and with the hair flying in the other girls face.
Third: Technically the photo is great. Wish we could see more faces but that's tough to do with the helmets.
