Pam Coath of Wayne, Pa., won First Place in CANDID with this photo of Juan J. Hernandez

Photos in all categories are judged on, among other things, the clarity of photo, the expressions on the faces of person or animal in the photo, how natural or unposed the participants are and the difficulty of getting an extraordinary photo.

"Here is a photo of Juan J. Hernandez, a famous jockey, who was at Parx racetrack this past summer for the Pennsylvania Derby," said Coath. "He had some young fans, including this little girl who got him to sign some goggles for her! Bet she will grow up to be a racing fan!"
