Judges Comments

First place is a nice photo of a great moment. Second place has strong emotion but the body posture in the bottom part of the photograph felt awkward. The photo could have benefited from a wider focal length. Third place was well captured, but we would have liked to see the photographer lean into the mood created by the dust in the air.
