1st Place: Kaye Burazin, USA Ghost Rider - "My favorite techniques are working with lighting," says Burazin. "Changing day to a night scene was part of the effects used in Ghost Rider. After changing the image to B&W in Photoshop by desatuation of colors, I used Mystical lights spotlight for the headlights and placing the subdued lights in the car windows. This can also be done with layers and using whites and grays painting a fog-like ray and bringing down the opacity."
2nd Place: Bobbie Goodrich, USA Red Canyon Run
3rd Place: Marija Milovanovic, Serbia Eyes of a Window
4th Place: Ed Hafizov, USA The Dawn Fairy
