We liked first place's facial expressions on the bench. We usually see the shot after as the ball is leaving the shooter's hand and this gives a typical shot a different look. Second place caught one judge's eye with a the blurry background. Kudos for the technical know-how. The facial expression of the hockey player in the third place photo made it rise to the top three. Some of the other entries would have placed but the white balance was off.
