Juror Statement: 

 

I feel all of the photographs in this exhibition deserve an Honorable Mention, however, Amy said it wasn’t a good idea. What we have here is a stunning selection of photography; from still life to portraiture, landscapes, to wildlife, and so much more. I truly enjoyed the variety of genres in this show.  ~ Garry Rose

2nd Place:  Fall’s Last 

What impressed me was the unexpected imagery for a still life along with the use of vibrant color.

Very striking image.  A real eye-catcher. Elicits emotion.
