New England – June 2024 – Sports Action

Judges Comments

First Place: The funny moment captured in “Outfield” made us smile. We appreciate how the photographer managed to get both the sunglasses and the ball in the frame. Second Place: The photographer's choice to use a motion-blur effect in “Speedster” was a smart choice to tell the story. It's not an easy way to photograph, but it paid off with the face of the subject in focus. Third Place: “Back Flip” is a good image with nice colors. We thought it was smart framing and a good angle to capture this moment. Alternate: The photographer had to face some tricky lighting in “Lone Run of the Game,” but they managed to work it and capture a sharp image.
