Judges Comments

1st: The foreground helps set the scene and mood as first responders search for the drowning victim. 2nd: This image captures the fire and a little action. We think it could have used a crop or the photographer could have gotten a little closer or zoomed in a little more on the fire and firefighter. 3rd: The spray of the foam makes for a beautiful shot in a tragic moment. We wish the feet were not cut off.
