Best Sports Feature Photo/Category 16 First Ben Kibbey Brown County Democrat (Nashville) Loss Wonderful storytelling in this one photo. You don't know if he won or lost. But you know he gave it all — and, like winning and losing, that's something everyone can identify with. Nice uncluttered com- position captured at a perfect moment. Second Josh Lewis The Salem Leader Tears Something just ended in this photo. You don't know exactly what, but the pure emotion captured here makes you want to know. The story that goes with this photo is going to be a heartbreaker. Nice timing, technique and composition. Third Josh Lewis The Salem Democrat Hallelujah The pure joy of a young winner brings us all back to our little league games.

Best Sports Action Photo/Category 17 First Josh Lewis The Salem Leader Rumblin, Bumblin, Stumblin This is a well-composed shot with the action coming straight at the viewer. The looks of anguish on the faces of the defenders (not to men- tion the defenders who faces are buried in the grass) and the high- stepping action by the runner tells the story of who won this play.
