Many images would have benefitted from tighter crops and cleaner backgrounds. Winners had technical quality, good positioning, strong action and unique moments.
First place image offers clean, peak action. Might be a fairly common play but everything is lined up nicely and technically sound. Second place is a nice, quirky capture of a moment that some might overlook. Third place image offered an unusual composition that rose above others.
