BSCC End of Year Competition

 The BSCC End of the Year Competition has finally come and gone. There were over 100 print and 200 digital entries for judges (above) John Hopkins, Pete Mathews and Bob Denny to ascertain the best of the photos entered for 2011-2012 competition. Our judges were thorough, deliberate and patient as their final choices were selected.  

And the winners are…for best print of the year the honor goes to seasoned photographer, Jim Lynch, for his ‘Sun Flower with Bee’ photo. Jim also received 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th place. His unique approach evokes well planned composition, color and attention to stylistic details (above).

Taking 1^st place in the digital photos was Tom McDonough for his photo ‘Sun Set Tree’ (right), a tranquil silhouette of a tree surrounded by the fading blues and hues of the burning sky merging as the sun sets on Lake Michigan.

2^ndplace, 'iPhone Orchard' and 3^rd Place, 'Ginko Pile',Digital of the Year went to Suzanne Anderson (left).

Shelly Martinez won 4^th Place for her photo ‘Juneau From Above’ (left) and Glenda Davidson was awarded 5^th Place for her photo ‘Leaf Pattern’ (lower right).
