First place portrait had a nice in between moment that we don't often see in a sports portrait. Light was nice and subject seemed very comfortable and natural which can be hard to achieve. Second place portrait was a very strong way of seeing but we wished the positioning of the subject had been slightly to the left so as to not have the tree coming out of his head.
