Judges comments:
This category was the most frustrating and least impressive. Not only was the first place picture we initially picked not shot in April, but the overall quality of the submissions were weak. We know this sounds harsh but the feature category is usually very strong. Anyway...1st place was a breath of fresh air and a nice simple, straight forward picture. The colors and the humor found with the umbrellas and the fisherman sleeping made this the obvious choice. This should have run larger. Second place is a nice quiet moment captured in a timeless photo. The lines of the mother and fathers' hands, the row of buttons on the coat and the lines of the building's siding all add a nice feel to this photo. Third place is what it is, old ladies with huge glasses and kazoos. The framing of the legs was a nice addition and the picture made us laugh.
