Fontenelle Forest Photo Club Contest – 2013

Last night I have the honor of judging the 2013 Fontenelle Forest Photo Club contest. There were 90 entries in several categories – Scenic and Landscape, Flora, Fauna, and Anything Goes. They were all great submissions and as such there were some hard decisions in choosing the winners. Needless to say, it was not a fast process as I wanted to make sure I took in every photograph. I will be discussing the photographs on the 20th with the club members, a meeting I am looking forward to. Here is a list of the winners in their respective categories, congratulations to them all:
