Wildlife winners
1st Place - Outstanding Achievement Title: Cheetah Ridge This image was created from 12 separate layers in Photoshop. The cheetahs were found at Safari West in Santa Rosa CA. I combined all images of the cheetah with Sonoma Co backgrounds and added trees to make the scenic look like more authentic Africa scene.
