Photo: Merit Prize
Merit Award: Jozef Reynaert

Canon Rebel K2 camera and the National Geographic Photography Field Guide.

Jozef Reynaert certainly gets around. The salesman from Lede, Belgium, was a merit prize winner last year with his photo of Nepal. He collects another award with this wintertime still life of Wollman Skating Rink in Manhattan's Central Park. "Even though it was a very cold and snowy day, people were out skating," he says of his impressionistic view. "The cloudy sky cast light and shadows on the afternoon scene."
