Mid-Atlantic – February 2020 – Sports Action

Judges Comments

Judges were pleased to see tight action in this group with fairly clean backgrounds. First - The defender's fingers in the player's mouth was the unusual moment that caught the judges' eyes. People must have been happy to see that when editing the images after the game. Second - Elements coming together to make a wonderful frame. The reaction from the goal-scorer, the lunging defenseman, and the goalie turning around hoping not to see the puck behind him. Topped of with a clean background. It's a gift from the hockey gods. Third - Great raw action that made the judges' backs hurt.
