As I expected there were a lot of great submissions and judging was difficult. I've looked at all the images several times and really like diversity of the submissions.
The Honorable Mentions in no particular order:
Steve
Ken
Markus
Third Place - Jola - Really like the angle, the motion blur and expression.
Second Place - Jeff - Really like the tones, mood and the expression of the musician who seems ro have become one with his music in this image.
First Place - Marisa - You really caught the moment here. Love her expression and softness, and she seems miles away in her thoughts.
