Best In Show: Let's Wander Where the WIFI is Weak
ButtonChristine Sanders
Judges Comments: beautiful execution of composition and exposure. Use of the texture and leading line of the branch- while keeping the tree in the background out of focus and positioned to the side to keep from merging with the Barred Owl.

Best Action: Take Out
ButtonKimberly Robbins
Judges Comments: Action shots are difficult to time- capturing the Osprey low on the water just after catch with the wings in the upward position and having light in the eye shows the photographer understood the subject and planned for the situation.

Best Avian Portrait Style: Day of Release
ButtonRob Foley
Judges Comments: Great shot of a small Screech Owl! Composition is spot on, great use of depth of field to isolate the subject and good light in the eyes. I was especially drawn to the contrast and color of the scene.

Judges Award: Locked and Loaded
ButtonSarah Devlin
Judges Comments: So darn CUTE!! And also well executed- shallow depth of field keeping focus on the chick, but enough detail in the adult Tern so you can read the story. You can almost hear the chick saying “like this?” This is a great example of telling a story and also how bird photography is not always “in flight”, “action shots” or hard to find/exotic subjects.

Judges Award: Early Bird
ButtonAndrew Young
Judges Comments: Great image of a Yellow Rumped Warbler, these little guys move fast! Great texture and lighting, my only critique is it's a bit tight for my taste on the left side- I would have liked to see just a little more looking room if possible- but it's a super sharp image and love the details.

Judges Award: Here I come
ButtonAnne Seminara
Judges Comments: This is so good! Love the action and sharpness right on the beak/face of the bird. The blur of the wings is great to show the motion and grace of birds in flight. My only critique is, the composition is shifted towards the left a bit with extra room on the right- cropping or centering the action coming straight at you would put this up in the next category.

Judges Award: A Serendipitous Snowy
ButtonChristine Sanders
Judges Comments: Snowy Owls are such incredible animals and capturing them is such a pleasure. Whenever you can get a shot like this that shows their bright yellow eyes and feathered feet, it's a win. Great placement, and separation from the background and foreground.

ButtonGreg Anderson
Judges Comments: I absolutly love this one! Great capture of motion and speed.

Judges Award: Armed and Dangerous
ButtonJohn King
Judges Comments: Great shot of an American Bald Eagle- when they lock on to something, you can really capture that look and that's what you have done here. This is one that maybe could take a little more crop on the left side and bring it in tighter, but really great shot!

Judges Award: Tree Swallow
ButtonJosh Higgins
Judges Comments: You can just hear the song from the Tree Swallow in this shot. Great color and exposure as well as use of the background.
