  • Competition Comment: This was a very solid and well done group of entries. It was difficult to pick the top[ three. What stands out to me as a judge is an obvious effort to move around and get the best shots. Too many entries I have seen, in years of judging, are taken from someone standing in the same darned spot. I like to see a variety of angles at an event. i like to see interesting and fun faces. The winners filled the bill.
