New England – June 2024 – Sports Feature

Judges Comments

First Place: “Victory” stood out to us as a fun moment. It can be difficult to get good light on a player's face during a night game, but the photographer managed to do this while also capturing a nice expression. Second Place: We were intrigued with “Aerial Rowers.” It's a unique way to shoot this, and we think the photographer nailed the timing of this image because the shadows make the photo shine. Third Place: The photographer of “Splash Down” was in the right place at the right time to capture a great moment. Alternate: “State Champs” is a good celebratory moment, but we're curious to see what the images before and after this moment looked like — maybe more faces would have been visible.
