2005 Photography Contest Winners

Everyone has a specific picture that comes to mind when they think “Finger Lakes.” Our readers come from far and wide, and this year our photo contest entrants did as well. As in years past, our judges were looking for that “wow” factor among the images that portray life in the Finger Lakes. We hope our winners wow you too. Be inspired! Get out and enjoy every season through the lens of your camera.
