Midwest – August 2021 – Sports Action

Judges Comments

Judges recognize the multi-photo package from Brickyard Weekend for the first and ender images. It should have been entered in the Photo Essay category. 1) It's hard to complete with peak action and great expressions. Both athletes look like their flying. Attention to detail is evident in the cropping by keeping the shadows in the frame. 2) This is an example that sometimes wider frames do work. All the elements came together in this frame with the teammates's raised hands adding to the emotion. The player is running away with the ball and in the caption we learn Dunbar did too. 3) Technically well-done with a clean background and good moment.
