Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Cascade Avenue" by davidrichterphoto

"Not only does this photo capture a stunning location, it also has a beautiful quality of light as the warm tones from the sun fade elegantly into the cool tones of the water and the rocks on the bottom of the frame. The top notch composition, solid post-processing, and well balanced light all come together to make this the winning photo." - Elia Locardi
