Judges Comments

First Place: We chose “Swab Summer” as the winner of this category. The photos nicely told the story, but it could have been done without the second photo. Second Place: “Strike Arrests” had some good moments and emotions to tell the story, but it could have used a tighter edit. Third Place: N/A Alternate: The photos were a little repetitive in “Striped Bass Fishing,” and we thought one or two photos could have been submitted on their own without being a photo story. But, we thought the photographer did a good job shooting this in complete darkness late at night. Not an easy assignment.
