The first place image here was greeted by "Wows" when it came up. A backlit race horse being washed, steaming in the morning, just really stood out. Light, composition, moment came together. Second a quiet frame of a baseball manager blowing bubble gum. The angle was a little different from bubble gum bubble images and the shadow on the face works well. Though tight, maybe a little tighter yet? A celebrating pitcher was third, a solid moment, good light with way too loose of a crop.
