The sports action category had a lot of good entries, and was the largest group. There was a lot of good peak action. All three of the judges have photographed volleyball, and understand that the first place image is a hard get. We liked the action in second place, we just wished the background was cleaner, but we understand the action here is the point. On third place, that's just a nice celebration image from a soccer game, and the photographer needed to be ready to get that image, and not just the action.
