South – December 2024 – Sports Action

Judges Comments

Many of the submissions in this category blended together, the winners were all unique moments that stood out from everyday sports action. 1st: Nice job getting both the helmet off and the player's face against his teammate, there's a lot of depth in the action here. 2nd: The composition with the players' alignment, their arms and eyes locked on the ball adds to the tension. 3rd: A classic peak action moment, and the framing of the leap between all the other players creates a nice focus for the eye. Alternate (Lobos): Similar to the second place photo, interesting body position/reaction.
