The baseball walk-off celebration was really nice. The water splashing and the player's emotion really sealed the deal for the judges. Second place was a nice, quiet view at what goes on between events at a track meet. We liked that every one in the frame had something to add to the feeling of the moment. Third place was a nice image of the celebration. The square crop makes us feel like there was some room for more of the players to be seen on the right, but overall it was a really nice clean photo of the celebration. There were a few images submitted in the sports action category that would have been better placed in the sports feature category and could have placed.
