From an elk silhouetted in the morning mist with reflections that mimic wildfire, to the underside of brilliant red cardinal wings against a snowy sky, the images in the Best of Nature show are not to be missed. Three rounds of judging took place to choose the winning photographs, which range from landscape and wildlife images to abstract/impressionistic nature-based images. Traditional and digital photographic works are represented in the show. Over 2300 images were submitted to the jury for consideration.
