Announcing the Winners of our Second Annual Orchard at Altapass Photo Contest (2009)

Many thanks to everyone who entered! Like last year, but even more so this year, our contest was extremely difficult to judge! We received so many amazing photos our judges had a very difficult job choosing, in fact we had to introduce a new category, ORCHARD PEOPLE, to accommodate such talent!

To all of you who entered, whether you see your entry here or not: your photo was terrific and we thank you! (Photos are judged on subject matter as well as technical merit. All submissions are greatly appreciated and will be used on the various pages of our website throughout the year!)
