	Rainbow over fire
	Jamie Kelly
	Winner Comments:	Three elements make this photo stand out above the crowd. The rainbow, of course, which 
	frames the flames shooting from the top of a historic building, and the historic sign that 
	identifies a significant community tragedy. Good work pulling it all together!

	Silhouette with horse
	Larry Biri
	Winner Comments:	A pensive moment between a girl and her horse, perfectly silhouetted by the sun outside the 
			 barn prior to a competition. So sharp and crisp that it almost doesn't look real! Nice.
