Judges Comments
1st was a nice capture, background is a bit busy but the peak action of the photograph stood out; nice baseball image. 2nd, taking a chance to pan an image and control the background to make it work. 3rd place has good elements, and the intensity of the faces tell a story. There were a number of loose ball and overhead shots, and one of the tougher categories to judge.
