1st Place – The Astrophotographer by Andrew Fritz
The judge’s paraphrased thoughts on why this image won:
While the technical skill of this image is obvious, the feeling communicated is what completes this image. There is a definite sense of awe from the silhouetted photographer.
2nd – Najatt in Gold by Joshua Baker
3rd – Proud Fella by Travis Johnson
