Judges Comments

Some nice moments here in an otherwise also light category. The young boy's expression and the photographer getting in close made the first place picture rise up. Emotional moment and clean composition for second place. Third place splash picture could have stood on it's own, didn't need the second and third images entered. One of them actually took away from the package.
