Best Sports Feature Photo/Category 17 First place Celebration day Chad Fleetwood The Salem Leader Comments: Kudos for getting this standard celebration pic a bit differently. Shows true emotion of the team rather than the typical one usually taken. Second place Challenger Brian Smith The Corydon Democrat Comments: Great viewpoint and emotion. Third place Big bump Chad Fleetwood The Salem Leader Comments: Good action and interaction. Best Sports Action Photo/Category 18 First place Cat-like reflexes Chad Fleetwood The Salem Leader Comments: This kind of shot requires the shooter to antici- pate and hope for action. Usually by the time you see this, it is too late to capture it. Good anticipation and good technical image. In focus, with relatively narrow direction of focus, to isolate the player. Second place All ball Chad Fleetwood The Salem Democrat Comments: An atypical point of view separates this shot from the usually floor level image. Third place Escorted Chad Fleetwood The Salem Leader Comments: A different image that shows an entire play, not just focusing on the ball carrier.
