Picture Perfect
You just never know what will capture the spirit, the beauty and the fabulous fun of our region. At least, we never know until the hundreds of images arrive for our Lake Superior Photo Contest and then, yes, for this moment in time, we know. All the entries once again confounded the judges with spectacular choices. The evidence of that is the tie for 2nd Place in the People/Humor category. Images on these pages received 1st and 2nd place or are honorable mentions. We list where they were taken and the photographer’s name and town. To see notes on what caught the judges’ eyes for each top winner, to read details of techniques used by the Artsy/Altered honorees and to see the Finalist winners, shown online only, go to www.LakeSuperior.com.
Now sit back, turn the pages and enjoy your Big Lake neighborhood and neighbors.
