Judges were unanimous placing in this category, which, as you would expect, was exceptional overall. First goes to Centerfield. Judge comment: "It is a nice clean action moment in a stadium. I think the crop was the right choice as well - good work." Second is awarded to BigSurf "Good color, good moment, gnarly wave - what more could you ask for?" Third place to BreakUp - "This is a solid moment from pretty far away. I think the photograph has made a good choice trying to crop in but it could benefit from being a little less tight. I feel like it would let the image breathe and the image's soft focus wouldn't be as apparent." The alternate is Flagged. "A nice image with a good leading line that caught my eye immediately."
