Lynx on the Rocks – Rudy Dierks
Rudy says about his image: The lynx photo was shot at a cat preserve using a 200mm lens. I used focus stacking to get a sharp image through-out. It was late in the day and there was still a little light that came in on the cat.

“Burning Through Hell” – Dave Bell
Two First Place
“Ballet Dancer” – Jim Ingraham
Jim says of his image: ‘Ballet Dancer’ was a studio shot. One flash in soft-box high and to the left, looking almost straight down on the subject. One flash with a spot grid lighting the backdrop. One flash with umbrella camera right for just a little fill on the shadow side. ISO 64, f5.6 with a 35 mm lens on a full-frame camera.
“Karate Coot” – Jim Ingraham
Jim says of his image: ‘Karate Coot’ was taken at Reinhart Volunteer Park (All Sports Park). Taken with a zoom lens on a full-frame camera set at 500mm and an aperture of f9. ISO was 1600 and the shutter speed was 1/3200th of a second handheld. Coots are beautiful in an ugly sort of way.

Underneath — Susan Sheets
Susan says about her image: I captured this mama fox and her kit on a sweltering July day this past year. The family took up residence under my shed until the kits were weaned and I enjoyed every minute of their stay. I spent numerous happy hours trying to catch them with my camera. I shot this with my Olympus EM1 MK3 camera and at 400mm.
