Merit Prize: Alex Rostocki
Olympus Camedia C-770 digital camera and a copy of the National Geographic Photography Field Guide.
Alex Rostocki snapped this photograph during Semana Santa in Seville, Spain. "I got this shot on an extremely narrow street in a 'people jam,' which allowed me to get so close that I was standing in the procession," explains Rostocki, an attorney who lives in Connecticut. "I was fascinated with the eyes of the penitents peering out from their hoods." During the week Rostocki was in Seville, he never saw a penitent remove a hood. "It was these little mysteries that drew me to take this photo." (Nikon D70 digital, Nikkor 18-70mm zoom lens.)
