NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2006: Web Site Winners: Best Sports Picture Story (Smaller Affiliated Sites)

1st Place: Salute In Bronze; mercurynewsphoto.com
Judge's Comments (Deanne): This category had only three entries. One of them was eliminated since video is not allowed in this category. We awarded first place to Salute in Bronze. The story was good deeper coverage of a daily story combining still pictures with audio. The other entry, the Old Ball Game, was a good idea to try to do something different with Opening Day of baseball season, but we didn’t feel the photos went beyond the obvious. The subject was dead center in almost every image with little finesse in the composition and nowhere else for your eye to go in the frame. We were hoping to see some surprises in this story and were also hoping to see more entries in this category.
