BEST OF THEME
Spring Snow, Ron Shook

Last week’s winner, Stephen Prendergast, chose Best of Theme:. He says:

My choice as Best of Theme is Spring Snow by Ron Shook. I especially like the simplicity of the picture - the single magnolia bud with a cap of snow. I think it is the simplicity that makes the statement about the arrival of Spring, in spite of any last hurrahs by Winter. I also like the way the fuzz of the blossom seems to almost merge into the snowflakes. Congratulations, Ron.
