Judges’ comments So much of good landscape photography is about lighting, composition and balance. We picked this image as the first-place winner because we saw all of these present in this quiet moment. The positions of the trees, the groups of people and the stream of light coming through the image made this photograph work. We were impressed that the photographer found this tranquil scene in a busy park setting.
