Northwest – October 2023 – Sports Action

Judges Comments

This was a strong category. We looked for things that showed vision and some unexpected moments. First place is a fun moment that showed the photographer was aware of their surroundings and looked for multiple visual elements that worked together to make a great photo. Second place was another good action moment with the players jumping up to get the ball. Third place was a fun photo with the extreme crop to go with the divers hair. Our alternate photo was a good clean shot with nice action.
