The Photo Contest: Clouds
This contest brought a wide variety of entry subjects and themes. We saw a lot of sunrises and sunsets, cloudscapes, and clouds as backgrounds. We saw a great many color images, but only a handful of black and white ones.
We chose our winners on the basis of how well they stuck
to the theme, composition and image quality. Our grand prize winner was
Charles Marchetti. His image was strong in all three categories. It is
truly an amazing study of clouds. Charles
As first runner up, we chose Jeffrey Beardall's, "Tower of Clouds." It is strong in the composition department as well as a fine juxtaposition of the man-made and the natural world. He will receive a copy of Compupic Pro from Photodex Corporation.
Our second runner up was Anupam Pal's "Cloudscape". This is a very strong composition and illustrates the strength that comes from placing the horizon low in the image. Anupam will receive a year's subscription to PhotoTechniques Magazine.
All of our honorable mentions represent the very best from all of the entries. Everyone of these photographers should be proud of these images.
Please note: Once again we received a very large number of exceptional photographs by photographers who did not send in their submission forms. Your photo will be disqualified if you do not get the form in to us. We allow extra time for forms to reach us from overseas, and we have provided a fax number for those of you wishing to submit in that manner. Thank you to all of you that figured out how to send in your forms via email. It makes my job a lot easier!
Before sending in your images, please be sure to read over the submission guidelines at: http://www.apogeephoto.com/contest.shtml
