1st Place was a fun idea and really well done. This photographer demonstrated an ability to think outside of the box and clearly understood the assignment.
The background elements in the second place photo advanced the story.
Third place was technically sound. Although we may have preferred a different composition with the athletes face looking into the frame rather than out of it.
