Wow, who would have thought! Chris Simon put his mind to how can I shoot a “spectacular” photo and did it! Congratulations.

Superb quality in this photo and Graham Paine’s idea of capturing the paddlers from above to catch all the sunlight reflecting off the water was well thought out. Congratulations!
GENERAL COMMENT I found a lot of entries did not reach the threshold of what we judges are looking for – spectacular “impact and originality”, not just quality. The top two choices were easy. They had all the necessary components for a “spectacular” feature photo. First place got extra points for quality of reproduction while second place got extra points for imagination! Choosing third place was harder but this entry took readers to a view that is not normally a visual a reader would see. Congratulations to all the winners.

Frank Matys did a great job taking a photo that would capture anyone’s attention on a fundraiser that could have been a relatively boring assignment. Newspaper photographers are to take the reader to a place they wouldn’t normally go, and this entry did that. Congratulations.
