The Spokesman-Review is pleased to announce the winners of The Spokesman-Review Fair Photo Contest. Judges Kathy Plonka, Dan Pelle and Liz Kishimoto were impressed with all the entries.
First place is awarded to Gary Miller. His photo of his wife working in the barn exhibited very good composition and lovely use of available light.
Second place is awarded to Miles Pfaff. His photo of harvesting on the palouse was shot from an interesting perspective. There were terrific lines in the photo.
Third place is awarded to Simone Metcalf. The evening light in the photo gives it an other worldly quality. It was very well composed.
The judges awarded Crystal Orlin, Rodney Aho, Shaena Sullivan and Ed Knapik honorable mentions.
First place in the youth division is awarded to Ava Mcleod, 12. She captured a quiet moment of her brother and his first market steer.
Second place in the youth division is awarded to Isabella Potts-Moore, 11. She showed wonderful craftsmanship. Perfect narrow focus and lens choice for a beautiful portrait of her white leghorn paint.
Third place in the youth division is awarded to Gabriella Alvarez, 17. The light quality in this photo is stunning and there is a good use of shadows on the grain elevators.
The judges awarded Madelyn Jones, 16, an honorable mention.
