Judges Comments
First place gets extra points for the difficulty of the shot. Great moment. Tack sharp focus. For any baseball photographers out there (all of us being included), we'd love to have this in our end-of-year portfolio. Second place benefited from the amazing light as well as moment. Third place has peak action. Not to mention the nice, soft light and clean background. Did we mention a face?
