This competition brought in 170 entries from across the country. Here are the top three winners and seven honorable mentions. Of our nine featured photographers, three were winners in last year’s contest: Bob Gates, Henry Ehrenberg, and Amaru Pareja. Our anonymous judging also resulted in the selection of two different winning images by George H. Shattuck III. Thanks to everyone who shared their photographs of Martha’s Vineyard (see all of them on our website, www.mvmagazine.com), and keep your cameras at the ready for this year’s contest.

Photo statement provided with the entry:
I captured this moment just after sun-set on a chilly April evening. My family had just finished dinner at the Black Dog restaurant. When we went for a walk out on the pier I was immediately stunned by the contrast between the threatening low clouds and the mirror smooth harbor. Working quickly without tripod or bulb, I rested my camera on a dock pile and set it for a timed exposure. When I downloaded the few images I was able to take later that evening I was overwhelmed by the saturated blue color that came straight off the chip - only minor white-balance correction & dust removal has been applied. This image has haunted me for the past year and a half as I have tried again, and again to compose the Vineyard’s fading evening light in the same fashion without the same fortuitous results.
