The sports action category contains a variety of sports. The feeling is that many of the situations could be developed better. Timing, positioning, and elements could be better. Some did stand out. The first-place photo has all the elements that make a strong sports photo. Second place also hits the mark. Photographing a race start from a low angle is very difficult to do while making it perfectly timed. Third place has the faces, peak action timing, and perfect framing.
