Award of Excellence: Michal Barkai
"Local Gossips"
These are two of the most beautifully rendered cows I’ve ever seen, and I live in Wisconsin so I’ve seen a few. The fur texture is convincing without being annoyingly over-specific. The expressions and the story they tell are convincing. This goes beyond being a realistic image to being a realistic experience.- Colette Odya Smith, Judge of Awards
