Judges Comments

Overall the sports feature category had some nice moments and good expressive faces of athletes. The first place photo of the cheerleaders leading out the football team during opening ceremonies had a lot of life. The low angle, the flag that is perfectly timed, the distinct color, the fireworks and the blue sky background all lended to a well balanced and compelling photo. The eyes had us from the start in the second place photo. Another great peak moment. The third place soccer celebration photo tells the story of victory. Every girl is smiling and have good expressions. A well lit image (natural light) and good exposure.
