We had an unbelievable
number of great entries this season, which made judging tougher
than ever. Congratulations to the winners below!
Grand
Prize Winner:

the first time, we had a student submit so many great shots that
we couldn't choose just one! Thus, the grand prize has been awarded
to the following collection.
the
cleaners
Chyi-Dean,
Age 15, from North Tustin, CA
"On
the way to a community service event we passed by this cleaners.
It was shot from inside a car while idling at a red light."
Pots
Chyi-Dean,
Age 15, from North Tustin, CA

can find some of the most interesting shots in the most mundane
of things."

a comforting feeling to know you are not alone."
Honorable
Mention Winners:
Peaceful
Lake
Kendan,
Age 17, from Idaho Falls, ID
"This
picture I got in the morning up at Palisades. There was a pelican
in the middle of the lake with the morning sun reflecting warmly
off its beak. The pelican is by itself in a big area with towering
mountains surrounding it and still water as well. The sky looks
hazy the farther back you look. I just thought that the pelican
looked kind of peaceful surrounded by all that gorgeous scenery.
The lighting adds a nice warm relaxing feeling. "
Polish
Ducks
Jonathan,
Age 18, from Chicago, IL
"There
is a lot going on here. These ducks had just flown in to Germany
from Poland, but that trip may not be as long as one would think.
This picture was taken in Germany but across the River is Poland.
The ice in the river was exactly dividing the two countries."
Change
For A Dollar
Michael,
Age 16, from Lakewood, CA
"The
rich stay rich while the poor get poorer. In this picture, every
particular set of coins adds up to a dollar; it is my way to signify
with the times and show the gap between the rich (the silver dollar
and half-dollars), middle class (quarters and dimes), and the
poor (pennies)."
Natures
Tear
Alyssa,
Age 16, from Fountain HiIls, AZ
"A
dying rose cradles a water drop after a rain storm."
Frozen
Fields
Danielle,
Age 17, from Whitehouse Station, NJ
"This
was taken in the field behind my house after an ice storm. I find
it hard sometimes to find beauty in nature during the winter but
that day there wasn't one piece of the earth that wasn't covered
in that beautiful ice. I remember that the air wasn't bitter though,
like it should have been, after a storm like that. It wasn't warm
but it wasn't a dreadful cold either, it was perfectly enjoyable.
I think that this picture depicts wholly the sweet essence of
that day."
