I didn't win anything in the Photowalk Competition this year, but winning the local contest last year was nice. I thought you might enjoy seeing the winning photo, learn about how the photo was chosen and see if you agree with Scott Kelby. Photography always is very subjective.
I noticed Mr. Kelby often chose photos featuring dramatic lighting, movement or dramatic colors. Take a look for yourself.
I used a horizontal version of the Ellicott City shot below for my contest entry with slightly more dramatic lighting. Checkers anyone?
