Through Your Lens contest winners

This fall, INHF ran our first Through Your Lens photography contest online, calling photographers to submit their best photos of all that Iowa has to offer. We were overwhelmed by the talent and enthusiasm of our fans, and we couldn’t pick the winner alone. Our Facebook fans and friends chose from the 24 finalist photos—and the winner has been decided!

First Place: “Seed Harvest,” Ryan Ellsworth

As the first place winner, Ryan wins a one-year membership with INHF, a photography session with professional nature photography Ty Smedes and his photo featured on the back cover of our winter magazine. Congratulations on a beautiful picture, Ryan!

Second Place: “Tree Stands Alone,” Kathie Gillett

Third Place: “Frost on the Dandelion,” Kathie Gillett

Fourth Place: “Tempting For Two,” Mike Harvey

Congratulations to all of our photographers and winners! Be sure to check our winter magazine, coming in January, for Ryan’s photo!
