Many tough calls in this strong category. Migrated toward peak-action captures for our final set of selections, but the overall winnowing was a challenge to due the quality of contenders.
First - The soccer header photo is about as good-as-it-gets in terms of moment and execution. Fantastic frame.
Second - An elevated angle elevated the hockey photo into second place, with the puck placement a key deciding element among the judges.
Third - Loved the peak-action element of the third place frame - just wish the photographer had taken a moment to straighten the horizon slightly. Nice capture though.
HM - A great expression of the goaltender's face drew our interest.
