This was a light category and the three winners really stood out. We liked the light, dark background and the composition of the motorcycle guy. Available light, but almost looks like it was lit. Second place had nice use of the wide angle for layering and framing and was a good environmental portrait with the subject looking relaxed and confident. Third place picture had great color and more importantly the photographer took the initiative to bust out the underwater camera. We liked the reflection on the surface of the water.
