Northwest – September 2024 – Sports Feature

Judges Comments

While we thought a few entries might have belonged better in the Sports Action group, we think our final choices fit the category well and engage the viewer. First - Love everything about our first place selection. A little initiative paid off big-time with a unique, telling image of a pre-game meditation session. Second - While volleyball point celebrations are pretty common, we liked the framing of this one. The higher angle and the inclusion of the opposing player make for a very nice frame. Third - The expression on the third place winner's face says it all. A very fun photo. HM - The girls soccer player reaction image is just the one you want following a state title. Exhaustion and jubilation in a single frame.
