FIRST PLACE PARRY SOUND BEACON STAR This is a photo that takes what would normally be a “ho-hum, another band on stage” shot, to a different level. Having the spotlight shining off the photographer’s lens in such a way that it encircles the musicians makes it an eye-catching shot of the “don’t see that every day” variety. The photo jumps off the page (original is in colour) and draws the reader into the picture the way all good shots should. Good job.

PARRY SOUND NORTH STAR
Caught the fellow doing the flip at peak action. Clean photo even though there are lots of elements at work. The girl on the right looking away tends to make you think she’s either seen it all before or doesn’t dare look at the body tumbling down in front of her.

Everything works in this photo. The emotional response on the part of the main participants has been spontaneously captured. The looks on the faces of those whose faces are visible in the audience shows a good reaction to what’s taking place. Even the youngster in the foreground with his hands on his head appears to be signifying that what’s taking place in front of him is amazing.
