Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Richmond Times-Dispatch Entry Title: Sirius on the move Entry Credit: Alexa Welch Edlund Judge Comment: The long exposure and streaks of light add another layer to the image. The saturated colors of the graffiti and the light on the statue work well together.
