"There were many beautiful, technically sound, and visually interesting photographs among the finalists. One of the my favorite aspects of landscape photography is that it encourages the viewer to explore the world and see fresh perspectives. Truly amazing landscape photographs make me want to visit the place where the image was taken, or at least learn more about it. Congratulations to all the finalists. My favorites included "Yellowstone Canyon," "Heaven’s Gate” “Sun-Kissed” and “Sunset Dreams."" - Kevin Gilligan

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Morning dreams..." by kbrowko

""Morning Dreams" by Kbrowko grabbed me and never let go. The lush green rolling hills, and cool morning air in this image made me want to hike the hills and breath in the chill. I particularly love the layered lines and composition that carry my eye from front to back. The lighting is fantastic. The editing choices enhance the mood without being a distraction. It is a mystical and inviting shot, and for these reasons it is the winner. Kudos to Kbrowko on a fantastic image!" - Kevin Gilligan
