Judges Comments
First place is awarded to a stunning field hockey photograph, capturing a dramatic spray of water and sweat with a clean, shallow depth-of-field background. Second place features an intense, close-up action shot of a head-first slide into second base. Third place is a powerful capture of a wide receiver making a diving catch at the peak moment, enhanced by a shallow depth of field. The alternate goes to a creative, fresh angle on a wide shot taken from an unusual position.
