    Judge Comment: This is a beautiful shot. The color pallet worked out well in your favor, even in black and white. This reaction photo has almost a dreamy quality with some added drama produced by the rain. Nicely exposed, well done.

    Contestant Name: Iowa City - Press-Citizen
    Entry Title: See photos of No. 6 Iowa women's basketball and No. 2 Indiana at Carver-Hawkeye Arena

    Judge Comment: Magic hour made this photo to help create some pleasing soft colors in contrast to the excited reaction of the subjects. A wide shot to include lots of sky and the lights was a good choice.
