Judges Comments
First- The boogie boarder is just a nicely composed beautiful picture that makes us appreciate living in the warm west. Second- Image captures the thrill of victory. It's animated, expressive, and is cropped well Third- This has great reaction and focus. HM- The ice swimming pics had several nice images that may have won as singles but didn’t work well as a story because too many repetitive pictures.
