Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Fauquier Times Entry Title: Young Girl at Fall Festival Entry Credit: Doug Stroud Judge Comment: Nice lighting and framing of the photo, however, the power lines distract from the image a lot. I think more head-on framing would have aided centering the rainbow in the composition.
