Best of Show went to Ms. Heather Tingley. Photographing from one of her favored spots in Stallion Springs known as the "bench" she captured an overwhelmingly joyful moment with her young four-year-old daughter Sarah. Framing against a fog shrouded valley floor one cannot help but smile and feel the joy of this young happy girl. Heather took the image with her Nikon D-5300 using her 18-55mm lens. "I have no photo computer skills at this time so I must compose, and expose, just right in the camera," stated Heather. To further enhance her blossoming talent she also received an additional first and second place ribbons in two other contest categories.
