1st Prize – Gloria Hansen “Dynamic Duo”
Judge’s Comment: “This image has visual movement, balance, and drama. It was edited with muted colors and processed with a light hand – not too harsh or too much contrast. It’s also aesthetically beautiful in wonderful light. Great photography work.”

Judge’s Comment: “This skimmer was captured at the perfect moment, mid-flight, lower beak in the water, great win position. And you have a wonderful reflection with gorgeous golden light. I also love the spacing within the frame!”
third Prize – David Swerdlow “Snowy Owl 4, Forsythe NWR”
