Gold

Arizona Highways, “Out of the Ordinary” by David Zickl

Excellent execution of this offbeat character. Great lines, eyes, lighting.

Silver

Louisiana Life, “Rise and Revel” by James Shaw

The photographer captured a moment — the great ones do.  Natural, compelling — great journalistic image.

Bronze

Adirondack Life, “Freeze Frames” by Yvonne Albinowski

A clean and modern look at ice fishing and the methods used today.
This isn’t necessarily a subject I would be interested in, but this presentation, the surreal landscape, and personal look at the people involved is hard to pass by at a glance.
