People's Choice
Grand Jury Winner

"Franklin's image is an eye catcher and I knew it was my winner first look through the finalists. Wonderful lines, great timing, and nice even light.  This is not a image that is easily obtained and truly shows an animal interacting with water. I love the detail in the bird." - Tamara Gooch

Runner Up
