1st — This was another clear winner - a truly shocking photo. Such a haunting moment. We all went "woah" when we saw this one. Great composure in a fast-changing, low light situation.
2nd — A poignant moment in a very sad situation. It almost feels like a quasi-environmental portrait, but really captures the moment in action — a hard balance to find.
3rd — The wide focal length, as well as the choice of where to stop on the road, enhanced this photo. It makes you appreciate the scale of the tornado and storm, comparing the size of the landscape and sky with the (relatively) small houses on the right.
