on Dempster Highway
in the Yukon.
Here is a critique by
Baltimore Sun director
of photography
Robert Hamilton:<br>
<br>
"This is a scene you
don't see every day.
The photographer
grabbed a shot of
this bear after it
climbed onto the
road before meandering
into a
meadow. I like the
composition of the
photograph, but the
real lesson to be
learned is always be
ready to be lucky.
This photographer
was and got a truly
unique picture."

Gray Scale winner

Gray Scale winner

The winner for this week's Reader SunShots contest "Gray Scale" goes to John Jake Jakubik for his picture shot at the Grand Tetons National Park. The picture was shot with a Canon 20D dedicated to infared and the image was converted to black and white. Here is a critique by Baltimore Sun director of photography Robert Hamilton. "This was a very strong category with a lot of great photography. The winning image is a beautiful photograph and reminds me of a throwback to the days of Ansel Adams. This spot in the Grand Tetons is very popular with photographers and seeing this image, it's easy to understand why."
