Again a very strong category. In fact our first edit through we only eliminated five pictures out of a whole bunch and then had to start really nitpicking to get to winners. First place elevated right off the top for the composition the framing but also the timing but feet off the ground the shadow is in the right spot. Really good job for the photographer to be in the right spot and wait. Second place for us is the volleyball celebration. We know the volleyball players celebrate after every point it seems like but this one just really worked. The angle was nice and it was a good moment. Third place is jubilation after a score and has really nice light and a clean background. There were a couple of photos like this but the light elevated this one.
