1st – Openly Yellow by Chloe Hunter
The judge’s paraphrased thoughts on why this image won:
The exposure of the sunflower and the sky are perfect, bright and colorful. The focus on the sunflower and bee are tack sharp with the right depth of field to make the image nice to look at.

Class 2
We had 10 entries in class 2 with 3 awards (1st, 2nd and 3rd). The winning images are below.
1st – Purple & Yellow by Josh Baker
The judge’s paraphrased thoughts on why this image won:
This is a fun and original image with perfect focus and depth of field. The purple and yellow of the jaw breakers juxtaposed with the reversed background is simple but brilliant. The post processing of the skin is natural and not over done. Just a great all around shot.
2nd – Good Morning Tetons by Bill Bunton
3rd – Get Away from My Wife by Andrew Fritz
