"For this contest, I was looking for images that represented the theme of the contest… Playing With Reflections. There were some beautiful sunsets and reflections in water with majestic mountains… but to me, I was seeking to find images that were playful and that you could tell that the photographer was having fun trying something a little different. What a great selection of images to choose from!" - Laurie Rubin

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Admiration" by InfinitePhotography

"This image was all about ‘Play’ and ‘Reflections’ and that is why I selected it as the winner! What’s not to like about this image of a cute little frog checking out his reflection. The front eye is in focus and this really brings us up close to what is happening in this delightful little moment. Well done!" - Laurie Rubin

Congratulations Runner Up "Loch Rusky... Scotland!!" by davidmould

"The deliberate placing of the boat at the top of the image with the reflection of clouds in the water, makes it look like it is floating in the sky. This is another example of the photographer playing with composition and subject matter and that is what makes this unique and fun!" - Laurie Rubin

Congratulations Runner Up "Reflections from the Wanaka Lake" by michellemckoy

"This well known and photographed tree really caught my eye. The post-processing is very well done and makes it look more like a fine art piece. The gentle dip of the tree towards the water looks like a playful dance. You can tell that this photographer had fun with composing the image in camera and then went further to add some nice touches to polish it up for the final result." - Laurie Rubin

Congratulations Runner Up "mirror man b&w" by stevejackson

"Besides being a really well done, high-contrast black and white image, there is a real story-telling element that makes you stop and wonder just what is going on here. A well dressed man in suit, walking on a wet surface within some very interested building, going where? Lovely reflections and of course, bringing in a playful element of the man in the suit." - Laurie Rubin
