There were only 5 entries in this category and we thought only two of those 5 deserved recognition. First place is clearly the best of the group with the emotion of a mother being comforted by an officer on the sidewalk curb. There was another photographer who shot the same moment but much tighter and we feel seeing the wider shot which shows where the moment was taking place was stronger. Second place is a tough lighting situation that the photog overcame and was able to make a nice image that was a bit of a“quick read” by using the bullhorn in the foreground.
