Honorable Mention
Autumn Solitude
DESCRIPTION
Chittenden Reservoir, Chittenden, Vermont, USA.This year, I road-tripped through the state of Vermont. On this spectacular fall day, I arrived at the Chittenden Reservoir before sunrise to capture the morning light, mist off the lake, and the autumn colors. During my shoot, I got lucky when a solo kayaker showed up and took off into the mist. I was a little jealous, as this kayaker had the lake to herself for the ideal solitude experience.
