Judges Comments

We were a little disappointed with the lack of peak, expressive moments in this category but loved the1st place breaking baseball bat. So clean. 2nd place was a peak soccer header moment. Perfect timing but we see it a lot so that's why it dropped down a spot. 3rd place was the lacrosse moment. We liked the expression in faces and body language but hated the tilted horizon. HM to the volleyball block. Nice moment, bad color balance.
