Judges Comments
First place is a great ending to a marathon with a solid jubilation moment. Second place. Kayak: This photo messes with your brain. It makes you stop and think how the trees must be growing out at an angle from the banks of the river. Great light and composition. Third place. This image captures the agony and the ecstasy of sports. Great expressions on the run scorer and catcher that missed the out. Nice layering in background.
