Well-timed. Keep looking for a variety of images that are from different angles and vantage points.

Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Tyler Junior College Entry Title: Tackle Entry Credit: Garrison Nichols Judge Comment: Nicely timed.
Competition Comment: Weak category overall. Without long lenses, it's tough to get peak action with lots of sports, but take every opportunity to photograph sports that allow close access, like basketball or hockey near the goal. Also, look for opportunities to photograph non mainstream sports and pastimes, which often will grant you much better access. Sports like cyclocross, martial arts, roller derby.
