Another weak category with very little to chose from. First place rose to the top and is an exemplary spot news photo - has it all - content, composition and timing. Best photo of the month in any category for sure. Second place was a good use of being creative in a difficult situation and the photographer is commended for making a compelling image "after the fact".
