2nd place prize, January 2011. Alcatraz Island chosen from a long sequence I took from Christian's plane. I almost passed it up because it looked so flat but with my basic Photoshop processing it really popped out and needed no touch-ups or trickery.

Honorable Mention, January 2011. This is me from a walk with my ex. She was too shy to model this time so she shot me instead.

1st place prize, March 2011. The moon drew me to shoot up at a dramatic angle that I would not have otherwise thought to try. I love how the stone appears to be glowing from within.

1st place prize, September 2011 Special category "Through The Window", and one of the top five special division images of the year for 2011. This is a reworking of a previous winner with an added window. I thought it was a poor exposure and little silly but judges often like silly.
