We would like to thank all participants for making this first annual Witness to Nature Photo Contest™ such a success. The judges at Encyclopædia Britannica and Ohio Distinctive Publishing were all pleased and impressed by the diversity of images submitted. While some photos make an instant, obvious impact, others look better and better the more you reflect on their content and technique. We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we have.

Stanford Apseloff, President
Ohio Distinctive Publishing
