Kathrin Swoboda, of Vienna, received the Nature Visions' "Best in Show in Fine Art" award at the recent 2014 Nature Visions Photo Expo. Her photograph is titled "Delicate Nectar Gatherer." The photograph was taken from her Vienna home. Nature Visions is one of the premier photography expos in Northern Virginia. The expo was held Nov. 14-16 at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas. "This year there were 1,335 entries from 155 local photographers for our nature and fine art competitions. The talent and creativity is a joy to behold,” said Bill Corbett, McLean Photo Club and President, Nature Visions Photo Expo. Camera clubs and their membership from throughout Northern Virginia and beyond were contributors to the Expo.
"I am a physician turned stay-at-home mom turned amateur nature photographer. I like exploring the beauty of nature with a camera to capture what can't be seen with the naked eye," said Swoboda.
"This award inspires me to seek art in nature." added Swoboda.
