Lots of great options in the Sports Action Category. We chose first place because of the facial expression they captured. Helps communicate the energy of the moment, and why we should be looking. The second image is a great isolated moment, but the steady gaze of the gymnast really made the shot. It feels calm, even though this moment is anything but for the gymnast. Third image got great movement and expressions.
