First Place

Kelp       Jim Ingraham

This image, titled “Kelp” was taken from Citizens Dock Rd. in the harbor at Crescent City, Ca. It was a bright and sunny day and the winds were calm. The kelp was sitting near the surface and I could see the seafloor as well as clouds reflecting in the water. The color of the water was a beautiful blue green. I thought it would make for a compelling image.

Taken with a Nikon D810 and Tokina 24-70 mm lens at 40mm. ISO 125,          Shutter speed of 1/125 and aperture of F8
