There are 30 photos in an exhibit at Henderson County Public Library through Oct. 1. The top three winners are pictured here.
“As a nature photographer, I pay particular attention to technical difficulty, composition, exposure, animal behavior and creativity in judging wildlife photographs,” said juror Al Perry.
“The first-place image of a colorful underwater crab in its natural habitat gives us a view few of us will ever experience. The second-place image of a hummingbird is an example of technical excellence in exposure, action, focus and color. The third-place image of a young person and manatee is an image with universal appeal,” the juror said in his statement.
The Ohio Valley Art League board has voted to have the exhibit again next year.
Photographers accepted into this year’s exhibit are: Emily Mabee, Miriam Key, Gene Stinson, Polly Mulligan, Stephen Chandler, Susie Bailey, Allen Campbell and Mike Lawrence of Henderson; Lynn Smith and Bonita Gentry of Dixon; Tim Sandefur of Corydon; Natalie Evans of Morganfield; T.J. Byrd and Daniel Rodenberg of Evansville; Steven Young of Lexington; Mike Matthews of Louisville; Linda Martin of Elkville, Ill.; Mitchell Erwin of Olney, Ill.; and Ian Schneller of Waialua, Hawaii."
