Judges Comments:
I would like to have seen it shot tighter on his face and plate. He has spaghetti coming out of his mouth, and he has an interesting expression. Use a zoom and show me that.

Such an odd little moment that framed up perfectly and it reads well. I would like to have the name of the defender that hit him in the caption.

Judges Comments:
Nice moment that shows you are paying attention. The official is prominent enough in the photo, that I think you should have pulled it from the box score and put it in the caption.
