First place is a delightful capture of a water polo player of the year. We loved it. Second uses the red color scheme to quickly make the point of the story. Nice composition. Third goes to SpaceGirl, clutching the Elmo toy. Sweet moment, even down to her hands and expression. The alternate goes to GoldStar Memorial, a solidly professional portrait of a Gold Star mom holding a photo of her son and a funeral flag.
