The first-place photo is a standard moment at major games, but is
captured intimately with strong reactions. The second place photo is a
great interaction between the player and the fans. The photographer
followed through beyond the game moment. The third place photo
makes you jump at first viewing. It captures a quick wrestling move
and stood out among a host of other sports frames. It would have
placed higher, but the caption lacked vital information on the players
and outcome. It was not alone with caption issues, many entries were
missing information like the date, player names and outcome. Our
alternate pick is a clean graphic frame from a high school basketball
game, but is lacking in its captioning as well.
