12. Third Place
Lindsay Birmingham
★Great capture, nice pan.
★Good for the amount of pan necessary to
achieve the amount of blur.
★Color saturations are very nice.
★The riders fingers are the focal point as
his body is undulating a bit making even
the head a bit blurred.

13. Second Place
Nick Chin
aka
The Chinese
★Great take on the theme.
★Not something we’re used to and the
model seems unaware.
★Creative.
★Love it! Out of the Box!
★I keep wondering, ‘Why’?

14. First Place
George Holt
★Nice colors, setting, and representation.
★Blowing the shot up the subject is crisp.
★Great texture on the water.
★Good subject but not super creative.
★Possibly stronger with the land on the top
of the frame cropped out and a bit tighter
on the heron.
★Heron might be a bit over-sharpened.
