Northwest – December 2025 – Feature/Single

Judges Comments

First place shot straight to the top with the moment between sisters and the glow of the tree. Overall, an aesthetically pleasing photo. The leading lines of the rows of bicycles and the look on the youngster's face made it an easy choice for second place. The judges enjoyed how the photographer made his or her way into the middle of the game and waited for the moment that helped tell the story about the Rotary holiday party. The alternate is just a great moment between Santa and children.
