Photo statement provided with the entry:
I captured this moment just after sun-set on a chilly April evening. My family had just finished dinner at the Black Dog restaurant. When we went for a walk out on the pier I was immediately stunned by the contrast between the threatening low clouds and the mirror smooth harbor. Working quickly without tripod or bulb, I rested my camera on a dock pile and set it for a timed exposure. When I downloaded the few images I was able to take later that evening I was overwhelmed by the saturated blue color that came straight off the chip - only minor white-balance correction & dust removal has been applied. This image has haunted me for the past year and a half as I have tried again, and again to compose the Vineyard’s fading evening light in the same fashion without the same fortuitous results.

what a wonderful collection of pictures taken by people who love the Island. I have the 1st place winners photo as the background on my computer. It is breathtaking and I would love to buy a print of it to hang in my house.
