The commissions agreed that the detail of the frost and the simplicity of the composition, along with the fall colors make this a winner!

RUNNER UP in our contest is awarded to John Snyder for his beautiful photo of Swan Lake in Oxford.

We collectively felt that John's view of Swan Lake was particularly engaging. Aside from the obvious beauty of the foliage and the crisp reflection in the lake, the forground foliage gives the viewer the impression they are sneaking a peak through the trees from a hiding spot.

The fall colors certainly captured the essence of the Fall Photography Contest.


Winners will be notified though eMail and the Commission will arrange the delivery or pickup of the prizes awarded.


Congratulations to both our winners and to everyone who submitted photos for the 2021 contest!
