"I chose this image as the winner because the birds are not only vibrant and beautiful but the timing of the photograph is great. Having their heads lined up gives a very unique optical illusion effect. It’s a creative, interesting and a visually stunning photograph. " - Jody MacDonald
"I chose this image as second place because the timing is exceptional and it does look as though the snails are curious with the water droplet. Who knew that snails were curious? The reflection in the water is also beautifully composed. The timing and composition are exceptional. It’s not a photograph that just anyone can take." - Jody MacDonald
"I chose this image as third place because this photograph took thought and planning to take. The photographer thought about the time of day, the lighting and the composition. The wood posts in the water lead the viewers eye toward the subject which is the city landscape and then into the beautiful blurred clouds and vibrant sky form the long exposure. It’s got a great balance of foreground , middle ground and background..all important components of a great landscape photograph"- Jody MacDonald
