A lot of good moments in this category. Judges immediately liked the boy with the monster truck because of its body language and composition. The Mariachi image was very nicely composed and black and white made it shine. The Stella competition had a nice angle and the photographer took a chance pulling back from the scene to give us a sense of place. One thing judges noted was that a lot of the submissions were of planned events and while the images were nice, a lot weren't "found moments".
