First place is awarded to CopterDrop "The photographer is right where they needed to be to capture this image. This is pretty cool." Second goes to Flooding, which one judge commented "This is a devastating [scene] and the photographer captured it well. Choosing to go wide to show the destruction was a smart move." Third goes to Containers, appropriately submitted as a multiple-photo entry. "The photographer does a good job showing the damage and giving us a great variety of images." The alternate is Flames, which shows that the photographer likely hustled to the scene to capture the fire still engaged. "Nice clean image of a firefighter at work." One judge added that overall "This was a hard category to judge - many of the entries are strong."
