"The photo was taken very near Aussois in the French Alps. I
was there on business and rented a car to take a drive on
the back roads. It is a very beautiful and photogenic part
of the world." -- Frank Slack, Branford, CT

"This is a photo of the 'Tour de Famelon' in the Swiss Alps,
near Leysin, canton of Vaud. I shot it with my Panasonic
Lumix LX2 during a solitary snowshoe trek in the region. I
have enhanced the contrast and the saturation in Lightroom." -- Maurice, Martigny, Switzerland
Still Too Cold for Bathing
4th Place - Still Too Cold for Bathing
"The photo shows the 'Eibsee' which
is a lake beneath the 'Zugspitze' - that is the highest
mountain of Germany (2.962 m) near the border to Austria.
The Eibsee is 35 m deep, but has some very flat parts and
also some little islands in it. Because of the crystal
clear water, which looks green depending on the light, it's
one of the most beautiful lakes in southern Germany.
I took the photo while hiking around the lake during my
holidays in the Alps." -- Axel Rosenberg, Schwerin, Germany
Lago Saoseo
5th Place - Lago Saoseo
"I shot this picture in the summer of the 1999 (July). This is a photo printed on film and then scanned. Along the road that leads to 'Bernina pass' (and then later in St. Moritz in Engadina) after leaving the car and after 1.30 hours of walking I reach this beautiful place. This is truly a masterpiece of nature." -- Daniele Ursini, Sondrio, Italy
