Second place is "Hay Sense" by Sydney Anderson age 17 of Tipton, which shows a girl on a horse walking through a field of hay. Third place is called "Horns Sheep" by Katherine Kehl age 4 of Smithton. Her photo has a horned sheep beside a feeding trough. The judges gave honorable mentions to three entries by Lauren Yeager for her pieces titled: "Still Standing," "Tools of the Trade" and "Beauty at Sunset."

Sydney’s mom was thrilled when she found out they won and said Sydney will use the extra money to help cover the costs of her horse. The judges, Faith Bemiss and Sydney Brink, also wanted to make sure people knew they felt Sydney put a lot of thought into the captions of her photos.

For the adults, the winner was "Reflections" by Taylor Heller of Green Ridge., seen below
