 1st Prize
Igor Ondryas, 60, project manager, Laguna Niguel, CA
This shot has us hanging on to our hats! Igor Ondryas was sailing on the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of France, when strong mistral winds sent the boat into a 50-degree incline while only one sail was rigged. Amidst all the turmoil, he crawled to the bow of the boat and took several shots of the dramatic seafaring scene, including this winning image.
