First place was a well timed, and highly unusual, play at first base from a softball game. It sure could've used a much tighter crop for much better impact. Second, a player sliding into a base, was probably the best composed and presented image but is lacking interaction, a tag or foot or something, to level up. Third, a stolen base attempt, would've placed higher with cropping, either vertically or horizontally. As is there's just too much space and background surrounding the real point of the image.
