Judges Comments:
“This picture captures the instant when winter turns to spring. The boats seem to be rousing themselves, maybe yawning and stretching a bit because they know the boaters are on the way. The little streaks of blue sky and the feathery new leaves contrast gently against the white of last year’s snow.”
