1. This entry rose above the others because of its capture of peak action. This category was lacking in entries that had compelling and well composed moments of peak action. 2. A natural pick by the judges for the photos striking moment of emotion during a wrestling match. We liked how tight the photographer focused on the athlete but would advise them to watch their focus. 3. Good example of peak action with a unique angle. Although judges thought that toning needed to be improved, they would recommend darkening highlights, lightening shadows and equalizing contrast.
