Photographer: Justin Rumbach, The Herald
Image:F_JTRJ_01
Judges Comments:
This photo has great layers that tell the story. Maybe what wasn’t an awesome moment, but has good layering and composition. This makes it more interesting. The girl’s expression draws you in to her.

Strong body language which serves as a leading line to the hearse. Simple and fairly clean.
I-Illustration 1st Place
Photographer: Andrew Laker, The Republic
Image:i_ajlc_01_Mar
Judges Comments:
Clever way of illustrating this issue. The eyes and the finger tips are a nice touch of a hint of identify theft.
I-Illustration 2nd Place
Photographer: Rob Goebel/Indianapolis Star
Image:i_rkgi_01_Mar
Judges Comments:
The backlighting helps make a clean background. The motion in contrast to the stillness of the other glasses is nice.

The swirling motion in the glass is a good way to illustrate and the lighting is clean.
Multiple_Entry 1st Place
Photographer: Chris Howell, The Herald-Times
Image:ma_cahb01
Judges Comments:
Good variety of images showing multiple aspects (off the court) that take you behind the scenes and introduce you to different characters of the story. It just shows what good access can do to help you tell the story.
Multiple_Entry 2nd Place
Photographer: Robert Scheer, The Indianapolis
Image:ma_RPSI_01
Judges Comments:
Very unique story in that inner city kids are introduced to nature. The photographer did a great job of showing hands on experience with events the kids may have never had before. Really nice interaction moments and a great closer.
Multiple_Entry 3rd Place
Photographer: Matt Detrich/The Indianapolis St
Image:Mb_MLDI_01
Judges Comments:
Good opener and good closer. The opener sets the scene and the closer is a surprise that is very unexpected and not seen very often. The closer is very subtle.
S-Sports 1st Place
Photographer: Sam Riche, The Indianapolis Star
Image:s_srri_04
Judges Comments:
Very unusual. He’s so high and framed well above every one else. You don’t see this as often.
S-Sports 2nd Place
Photographer: Sam Riche, The Indianapolis Star
Image:s_srri_06
Judges Comments:
The composition is chaotic and yet cohesive. You have a focal point in the middle and still have a lot of nice faces to see.
S-Sports 3rd Place
Photographer: Matt Detrich/The Indianapolis St
Image:S_MLDI_05
Judges Comments:
More of a quiet moment where photographer had to pay attention to what’s happening on the sideline. Great body language and expression in Pitino.
S-Sports HM Place
Photographer: Sam Riche, The Indianapolis Star
Image:s_srri_03
Judges Comments:
What’s nice about this photo is the contact between the players, and the arms crossing over and being tangled. It’s also nice and clean.
SN-Spot_News 1st Place
Photographer: Robert Scheer, The Indianapolis
Image:SN_RPSI_01_Jan
Judges Comments:
You’ve got color in a monochromatic scene (the red pops against the background). The expression and body language of the dog shows the emotion of the moment. Very unusual situation. You feel the danger for the dog.
SN-Spot_News 2nd Place
Photographer: Jon L. Hendricks/The Times
Image:SN_JLHM_03_Jan

The photographer is so close and you really feel like you’re a part of the scene. Great light and detail in the photo.
