Welcome to the Third Annual Don Sutherland Photo Con- test in the pages of Maritime Reporter & Engineering News. The contest was conceived following the untimely death of long-time contributor Don Sutherland. This year again we have scoured the globe for indelible images, presented here on the ensuing 10 pages. Photog- raphers near and far were not given any restrictions (and based on some of the more ?candid? images, this was fully embraced and enacted), Þ lling the coffers with stunning shots in one of Þ ve categories:? Ships and Boats ? People ? Offshore ? Weather Systems ? Maritime Scenes I am pleased to again thank Jonathan Atkin and Susan Evans Grove as our judges, lending their time and artistic eye in pruning the winners from large group. (You can read more about Jonathan and Susan on page 70. As the selection process is done anonymously, with the pho- tographer?s identity revealed only after the images have been selected and set on page, traditionally each year there is one photographer with at least two images. This year, both Alex Sergienko (who supplied the cover photo) and Armando Cruz Jr. get the nod for having the best ?eye on maritime?, as they have multiple images in this edition.MR?s Third Annual Photo Contest attracted more than 1,000 images from 22 nations MR #6 (58-65).indd 63MR #6 (58-65).indd 635/31/2013 10:07:21 AM5/31/2013 10:07:21 AM
