Judges Comments
Lots of peak action in another big category but the winners stood out for their toning among other things. First Place is an awesome moment and the photographer was ready for it. Second Place could have easily been missed in a quick edit but this photographer saw the light and faces and hands that all worked together. The overhead basketball got Third Place over other worthy pictures because we know it takes a lot more work and time to set up the remote camera and get the photos later. HM was a great moment with nice body language that probably happened very fast and the photographer was ready.
