Almost all of the images received at least one vote. Many individuals spent a considerable amount of time before making their choice for best picture in each of the categories; 'Beauty of Winter' and "Fun in Winter'. The difference between several of the winning photos and Honorable Mention was only by one vote. Thanks to all the photographers who entered!!
