This was a very strong category with a lot of great pictures. First place rose to the top right away with the girl's expression and hair flying. Second place was a good peak moment with clean background. Third place to us was more of a sports feature photo than action, but we liked the moment and the helmet flying. The alternate had a lot going on, but our eyes kind of went all over and it could have used a crop from the left.
