| Judges' comments: Overall, the category seemed to be the weakest of the Region 8 clips for July. Many pictures could have been in the Feature category. First place jumped right out, Second and Third discussion included about five other clips. First: We weren't crazy about the crop but it had great feeling. Second: We felt that it had the right elements. Third: Wanda held out for this one, we hope the bugs aren't quite that big down there. |

| Judges' comments: Lots of nice stuff in the catgory, if we couild score honorable mentions we could include another four or five pictures. First: Hey!! Nice shot, we think they should have run it as a horizontal, though. Second: Great work to show a small portion of a larger scene to isolate action, we also liked the image in the little teaser box. Third: Nice pic, done a lot, but nice. |

| Judges' comments: First: Great picture, was the hands-down winner, clean and simple. Second: For sure it is a Tour de France cliche, but a nice Second Place cliche. Third: Yeah, we all shoot the jumping dog, that's probably why we picked this one. One we'd love to have. |
