Congratulations to everyone who entered PY’s second annual Take Your Best Shot! Photo Contest. We received hundreds of excellent photos, and it was extremely difficult to pick the prizewinners. Thank you, all, for entering, and keep an eye out for the announcement of our third annual contest in the June issue.

As reported in our February 2008 issue, first place went to Dan Rollins of North Vancouver for his scenic and haunting shot, “Looking West.” Dan won the Walker Bay 8 hard dinghy with sail kit, courtesy of Walker Bay Boats. 

The second-place prize—a Pentax Optio W30 7.1-megapixel underwater digital camera—went to Jada LeBlanc of North Vancouver for her colourful lifestyle shot, “Rustic Reflections on Granville Island.” 

Third prize went to Jim Mendria of Nanoose Bay for his underwater photo of a Red Irish Lord, “Waiting for Prey,” for which he won a Mustang Survival deluxe inflatable collar-type PFD.
