OCTOBER WINNERS

First Place:  Carissa Knight, Salisbury High School SAPAN

Judge’s Comments: It’s not often you get the ball right where you want it and have a crystal clear in focus batter and catcher. I’m impressed by the combination of fast shutter speed, shallow depth of field and perfect exposure. Plus, it’s framed so well with the scoreboard in the background. A face would’ve been the cherry on top, but a great sports action softball photo.

Second Place: Ander Diemler, Van Horn High School

Judge’s Comments: Beautiful lighting here, even in a darkened area. We are still able to see his face and what he is doing and I love all the little highlights on his backpack and headphones. Caption added to the story telling, as well.

Third Place: Femi Nilson, Liberty High School

Judge’s Comments: Such a unique image for Robotics–the sparks are literally flying in this image and it captures such a cool moment while also have great composition and exposure.

"Embracing tearfully, sophomore Katlynn Peterson and senior Keirra Reaves hug during the Diamonds color guard senior night Oct. 20. It was the last football game that the Diamonds would perform in the football season. “I see them almost like family and people I really care about,” Peterson said. “It’s sad that I’m going to have to see them go and progress later in life, but at the same time I’m happy because I’m so proud of them for making it this far.”
