It Must be Art winner

It Must be Art winner

The winner for this week's Reader SunShots series "It Must be Art" goes to Patricia Knight for a picture shot of icicles hanging from the gutter of her home with Christmas lights in the background. The photographer shot the picture with a Nikon D100. Here is a critique by Baltimore Sun director of photography Robert Hamilton: "I like how the photographer was able to take something as ordinary as icicles and make them something special. By using a shallow depth of focus, the photographer takes full advantage of the colorful lights, but stills allows the icicles to be the star of the picture."
