This was another category of strong images, where first place stood out and the remaining three could have appeared in any order. First place: We all agreed this image stood out for its intensity, composition, clarity and the unusual moment captured. Second place: We liked the cropping, lighting and the movement of this different sort of action shot. Third place: We were struck by the expressions and how the photographer used the other players to frame the central action. Honorable mention: You don't often see the quarterback caught in the middle of the action as he was in this frame, and with a great expression to boot.
