First: The moment and composition with a clean background made this frame.
Second: The topping ceremony had a variety of interesting images, some of which should have been entered in the Features category without lowering the impact of this package.
Third: Who doesn't love an expressive child? Excellent choice on the photographer's part to concentrate on that boy.
