Florida's 175 state parks, trails and historic sites offer beautiful backdrops for recreational and nature-based photos. This year's photo contest, “Capture the Real Florida”, received numerous submissions from talented photographers, and their awe-inspiring images left everyone speechless, making judging them a difficult task.
Semifinalists were selected within three photography divisions: Professional/Hobbyist, Student and Mobile Phone, from the 12 photo contest categories: Landscape, Wildlife, Birds, Waterscapes, Night Skies, Details and Small Things, Park Experiences, Park Adventures, Plants and Flowers, Camping, Trails and Sightseeing.
Congratulations to the semifinalists! The top 10 finalists and winners will be announced soon.
