The photographer of the first place photograph captured a moment with a lot of layers and visual elements that contribute to the scene. The second photograph has good timing that makes it a good sports photograph, but it is elevated even more by the image's composition and lighting. The facial expression makes this third-place photograph. The honorable mention was an "almost" for us, we wish the photographer was down lower so that there wasn't so much dead space in the composition.
