Lisa Gervais used a tremendous amount of imagination to figure out how to shoot this photo and make it spectacular. Everything about the photo from human interest, originality, and quality of reproduction made it #1.

Very good photo. Vance Gutzman put thought into capturing this gentleman working on a bike wheel front and center and yet still had the bikes used for parts in the background. Excellent.

GENERAL COMMENT

Most entries, although great photos, were just ordinary photo shoots with little imagination used. Three photos were beautifully captured, thought out scenic photos that scored high for quality. The top three winners scored higher because they were all great photos that you could tell by just looking at them that the photographer spent time imagining how they could make this photo different than the ordinary and they all did super work. Again, I must say – the description in the entry form should not be used to explain the photo. If you need to do that, then the photo doesn’t tell the story. The description should be used to tell the judges how the photographer came up with the idea for the ‘spectacular’ photo. The top three winners found ways to make their photos spectacular. Congratulations to all!
