Comments (Regina McCombs)

While there were only two eligible entries in this field, both were good work. The biking piece had some interesting images and gave a nice sense of place. The action photos from football were solid and gave a nice range of game coverage. The minor league story was similar to first in that it had interesting images, good sense of place, but we felt sports action deserved more consideration in this category. The main complaint of judges was that they would have liked to see stronger sense of a storyline in gallery.
