This was also a heavily entered category. As the sports action, we awarded what we felt were the best composed images with moments. First place is clean and shot at an engaging angle with nice framing. Wished for more emotion from the main subject. Second place has a nice, clean background and another engaging angle which was used well along with good emotion. Third place has some odd exposure or toning, assuming because of challenging mixed light temps, but had emotion and a clean background.
