B 3 AWARDS
Excellence
#21
"Rockport
Harbor" Judith Ennis
Very
good light. Boat in foreground is a
leading line to "Motif #1" as is the placement of the color red in
the picture.
Excellence #41
"Liberty

positioning of lights so that there is a minimum merger with the buildings in
the background. City skyline is just the

exposure especially with the dark sky and light building.
Good
detail throughout the photo.
