HIGHLY HONORED
Scripps Pier and Surfer
La Jolla, California, USA
By Craig Bill
I always thought Scripps Pier was a great
photo subject, but when I arrived the air was
hazy and thick, which made for a brassy and
unremarkable sky. At the end of the sun’s jour-
ney, a fantastic display of color flashed across
the sky, soaking the entire area with a warm
glow. It was the sunset I had hoped for. (See

Octopus
Giannutri Island, Italy
By Filippo Borghi
This curious octopus approached me and after
a few minutes began jumping with all its ten-
tacles spread. To capture the action, I tried to fix
the flash setting and began to shoot whenever
the octopus launched from above to immortalize
this unusual but impressive attitude.
