Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Mankato - The Free Press Entry Title: Dog day Entry Credit: Pat Christman Judge Comment: Better than the usual fall color photos. The subtlety of the child and the dog in the bottom left make this photo for me. Also shot from a good angle with a higher view which helps the viewer to see the reflection in the lake. Nice job.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Alexandria - The Echo Press Entry Title: In like a lamb Entry Credit: Lowell Anderson Judge Comment: I love the low perspective shooting up at the kids and the tangle of the ropes. A technically difficult shot considering the backlighting.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Fargo/Moorhead - The Forum Entry Title: Rainy reprieve Entry Credit: David Samson Judge Comment: Some people hate photos with no people in them but this one is definitely an exception. The flowers image repeated in the raindrops is great. I've seen this done elsewhere but this one stands out.
