1. Fred Zwicky – Journal Star
We really liked the pure emotion in this photo and the tear drop on the
mother’s face made this better than a routine photo.
2. Rob Hart – Sun-Times Media
The shape of the champagne spray is really cool, but it would have been
even better if you could see who it was being sprayed on.
3. George LeClaire – Daily Herald
We liked the angle and the flags in background made for a nice
composition.

ready for this photo.

photographer was working hard not to settle for a routine play at second
base.
