Not really a strong showing of spot news in this category. But for what's here, SOAKER was cropped and composed best, with dramatic lighting zeroing you in on the subject, and it felt the most kinetic.
Road Hazard was clean, although could have been cropped in tighter. It was easy to read and ascertain the story.
Ruins had good lighting and contrast.
The alternate image Smoker was composed well, just wasn't as compelling as it was a set up to perhaps a bigger moment to capture.
