Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Light up!" by awu88

"I enjoy steel wool spinning and find that a bulk of the images have good impact. However on the negative side the majority of the steel wool images look very similar. The advantage is that this one adds an additional element of the Milky Way and the night sky creating a more unique image!" - Ed Heaton

Congratulations Runner Up "Bumboats" by richardvandewalle

"This image is extremely well exposed with a solid composition. I like how the boats have separation between the shoreline and the buildings in the background. The image is extremely sharp with excellent impact." - Ed Heaton

Congratulations Amateur Winner "Tampa" by CurtisReese

"I love the different colors in this image and the exposure and focus are spot on. I also like the additional element of fog in the sky giving this more of a soft dreamy feel. The image has a very cool feel to it and the pier in the lower right along with the warm lights help to balance that cool feeling." - Ed Heaton
