Lens on The Lake 2014: Photo Contest Winners

The winners of our annual Lens on The Lake photo contest are revealed.

Shutterbugs, our 2014 Lens on The Lake photo contest has come to a close, and we thank our faithful readers for their gorgeous photo submissions and their online votes for the readers’ choice award.

The contest includes two different awards:
