Judges Comments
First place was a unanimous choice: a fantastic celebration shot capturing the water bath from a close angle, full of energy and excitement. Second place is another strong celebration image, with great emotion and a shallow depth of field that enhances the composition. Third place features a powerful local sports reaction shot, capturing intense emotion. The alternate goes to a solid series on boxing, with several standout images showcasing the action.
