The soft early morning light in this beautifully composed image evokes a sense of stillness and serenity.


The One That Got Away

This simple homemade net tells a lonely story. Wonder if he gave up or met his limit.

Libba Wilkes

Garden Club of Jackson

Judges' Comments

A simple artistic approach to the class that tells a story.

The soft focus in the left lower corner is distracting.


Jessup Path in Acadia

Walking along this quiet path made me feel as one with nature.

Debbie Laverell

The Garden Workers

Judges' Comments

Dreamy image with effective use of line, light and color.

The viewer’s eye is guided along a path to an out of focus point.


Mud Flats at Sunset, Tomales Bay

Anne-Marie Lamarche

Piedmont Garden Club

Judges' Comments

The repetition of angular rooflines creates a sense of rhythm in this image which has interesting detail that invites the viewer to explore.

Abundance of muddy foreground competes with the interesting architecture.


Pier to the Rising Sun

Brooke Mallory

Garden Club of Hartford

Judges' Comments

The repetition of the posts leads one’s eyes to the reflection of the rising sun.

The brightness of the blown out sun overpowers the delicate reflection.

 

Stillness

Judges' Comments

The pleasing color palette, beautiful reflections and calm blue water create a sense of stillness.

The black-covered boat detracts from the serenity of the image.
