First place is a wonderful image that captures the spirit of competition
very nicely with great emotion on both ends. There's a nice feel to this
image. Great moment with nice control of the environment in framing.
Second is a stunning portrait with great use of light and color to
capture the essence of the athlete. Third show a photographer who is
looking beyond the obvious and pushing the boundaries of good
photojournalism. The alternate is a wonderful action image with great
prowess.
