NEWS Judges comments: 1st place captured intense, peak action in challenging light; slightly tighter crop in from the left preferred. 2nd place has beautiful aesthetic, color and lines with high profile subject. Slightly looser crop would have been perfect, and without it being a Trump, might not qualify for a news photo, but access and execution is a big part of the success of the image. 3rd place has good emotion/moment in very tough light. Could use some toning.

Honorable Mention…cool zoom/strobe effect for what would otherwise be basic subject/photo.

Hundreds of people supporting the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs opposing Coastal GasLink rallied at Portage and Main closing Winnipeg’s busiest intersection for several hours. While the action was mostly peaceful things escalated when an unidentified man began yelling at demonstrators. Several people were pushed and and one person was knocked to the ground before police restrained the man and led him away. The rally continued peacefully after that until about 5pm. February 26, 2020.
