BEST-IN-SHOW
Great egret (Ardea alba) bathing
Buford, GA
Canon EOS R5, lens RF 100-500 F4.5-7.1 L IS
This year’s photo contest judge, Jackie Kramer, struggled with selecting the final winning images as there were so many excellent submissions! Hundreds of images were provided from around the country for our 29th Annual Photo Contest. Jackie “selected the bathing egret as the overall winner based on the unique nature of the image. The egret’s breeding plumage shows the tail feathers flowing and swirling gracefully in the air above the water. It’s a different perspective into their world and so elegant.”
Thank you, Jackie, for your photographic and judging expertise plus all the Photo Membership holders that participated!
