Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Aitkin Independent Age Entry Title: When Uniform Colors Blend Entry Credit: Brielle Bredsten Judge Comment: A variety of shots that captured the day well. Great use of angles to not make every photo feel the same. You can tell the photographer was there all day in the midst of all of the action. Great job.
