Many images were entered in the wrong category and thus rejected. The swimming photo from Sports category should have been entered in Sports Feature. First: Excellent use of what can be a horrible lighting situation at a wrestling match. It doesn't get much better than the reaction of both athletes. Second: A coach invested in her team always makes for interesting images. Third: Wearing the snow shoes inside the arena is fun, however a tighter crop would have made for a more powerful presentation.
