Judge David Evans comments…
“This stunning photograph combines graphic shapes, interesting composition, sublime contrast and beautiful tones, elevating it to the top spot. The mood created by this combination elicits an emotional response - we can almost feel the fog and the cold. The layers in the finger-like composition marry with the veil of the mysterious mist, inviting us into the frame.”

“This animal portrait made me look twice - for more than the obvious. The stare of these creatures is somewhat arresting - their elegant, slender and proud dual stance and curious but calm demeanor almost personifies them. They stare and we stare back. This is more than your average wildlife photograph.”
Christine Georgiou, Sisters, $250
Youth Award
Judge Evans comments…
“The warm light kissing the feathery grass contrasts mysteriously with the darkness in the frame. When combined with a shallow depth of field, we get a feeling of intrigue about what might be in the trees behind. It is clear there is thought behind the execution of this idea. There are stories here, and it leaves us wanting to know more…”
