There were a good number of entries in this category, but the winners really rose to the top. First place stood out for it's simultaneous jube and dejection in the same frame. We really liked the moody lighting in the second-place picture, but could have pulled the shadows out a tad in Photoshop. People in the background were a tough read. Third place was a nice clean celebration shot with good faces. Alternate was interesting, but not enough going on in the frame besides the reflection to make it a winner.
