Judges Comments

Lots of good images in this category but too many were not considered because of the loose crop. Don't be in love with the original image. Play around with it because coming in tight often improves the impact of the action. First-Great expression, good body motion and tack-sharp focus. Photographer followed the action well. Second-Unusual body language and it's cropped well. Third- The loose ball picture also had a loose crop. It would have been higher up if the focus was more on the players face. His eyes are intense but it gets lost. Crop it tighter and you'll see his wild eyes. hm- Glasses picture is another awkward crop but also a great moment. Maybe a vertical with right player cropped out would have been more impactful.
