Once more our panel of judges has tackled the difficult job of picking three winners from the thirty finalists of CentralPark.com's Spring 2009 Photo Contest. After careful deliberation we've come up with prize winners one through three and we think you'll agree they are some of the most creative photos to date. We would like to once again thank everyone who participated and encourage you to enter our ongoing Summer Photo contest. Click here for the list of all the prizes you could win!

 

1st Place

Waterfall In Central Park
Waterfall In Central Park, by ashurite

A beautifully composed and evocative photo of the water cascade above Huddlestone Arch. The subtle shades of green contrast with the bright white of the rushing rivulet to create a scene that is both pastorally soothing and kinetically vibrant. A lovely example of Central Park in its most primeval state.

 

2nd Place

Bouquet in the Garden
Bouquet in the Garden
by Sunsets
A gorgeous shot of the tulips at their peak in Conservatory Garden. The lush colors are expertly captured and contrasted while the photograph conveys the subtle movement of the flowers as they dance in the spring breeze. A joyous evocation of spring.

 

3rd Place

Pink rowing pond sunset
Pink rowing pond sunset, by joisey
Hauntingly framed this picture depicts Bow Bridge stretching across the Lake at Sunset. The opalescent sky is mirrored in the dreamily tranquil waters in a perfectly timed photograph.

It is a scene reminiscent of Manet's Water Lilies with the perfect reflection of the sky transposed perfectly on the water's surface. A wonderfully realized portrait.
