Division 2 Best Feature Photo/Category 19 First place Porcupine boat Bob Mattingly, Dearborn County Register (Lawrenceburg) Comments: This is a graphically strong and surreal photo that is also technically strong. Second place Ghost Bob Mattingly, Dearborn County Register (Lawrenceburg) Comments: This graphic photo juxtaposes unlikely elements to good effect. Third place Fishing Megan O���Bryan, Brown County Democrat (Nashville) Comments: This unusual moment adds an extra element of interest. Two fishermen enjoy mild temperatures Jan. 9 as they drift in the Ohio River near Aurora. Multiple poles and lines increase their chances of catching fish. Best Multiple Picture Group/Category 20 First place Daddy daughter Alan Stewart, The Corydon Democrat Comments: We really liked this entry. Photographer approached this with just the right touch. Each image stands on its own, and together they really sing. Well-done. Second place Derby Lee Cable, Jo Ann Spieth-Saylor & Alan Stewart, The Corydon Democrat Comments: Nice variety in this entry made it work well. Establishing photos set the scene, and the close-ups bring the emotion. Third place Baptism Jo Ann Spieth-Saylor, The Corydon Democrat Comments: Photographer hustled to get a variety of scenes from this event. Good story-telling entry. Best Picture Story with Audio or Video Story/ Category 21 First place Harrison County Police Memorial Alan Stewart, The Corydon Democrat Comments: The video itself was very simple, but the message was powerful. Second place Antique tractor show Kevin Lilly, Brown County Democrat (Nashville) Comments: This was a good topic to make a video of, and video provided several great views of how the machinery worked. Next time don���t use so many different transitions between frames. Use the same one or it���s too cluttered. Third place Preston Highway String Band Alan Stewart, The Corydon Democrat Comments: The music pieced together flowed fairly well, and I really liked the toe tapping intro and finish of the video.
