Judges Comments

First Place was so well balanced and had fantastic white balance in a high school gym, which is not always easy. Second Place rose up because we don't often see a horizontal dunk and the eyeball also made it stand out. Third Place would have placed higher if the color balance was better and the horizon was not tilted. It also could have been cropped tighter.
