Why the judge awarded this 1st among the HS entries:
- This photo is very serene and calm
- At first glance you notice the mid-blue in the center and this causes you to look more closely
- On closer look you see some dark rocks in the foreground amongst interesting black-blue water. Then the bright blue transcends into a reflection of clouds and then onto the distant shore and finally the sky.
- This photo has high impact, interest and took a good photographer to see its potential
