Shiny Objects winner

The winner for this week's contest "Shiny Objects" goes to William Schwartz for his picture of razor wire at Loch Raven dam taken at sunrise. The picture was shot with a Nikon D7000. Here is a critique by Baltimore Sun director of photography Robert Hamilton. "This is a beautiful image. The photographer was smart and shot this when the light was perfect. Even though the picture has a lot going on in the frame, the composition manages to work in harmony."
