Fall Foliage Photo Contest 2015
by Felix Poon
The editorial staff of the CELOP Sun has voted! It was difficult to choose between so many great photos of fall foliage. In the end, we present 6 winning photos, and 4 winning photographers, but the most breathtaking viewing experience is to simply look at all 56 photos submitted by 11 contributors. You can view the gallery at the end of this article. Thank you to everyone for your submissions! Now, without further ado, we present to you the results of the Fall Foliage Photo Contest of 2015!
First Place - Haneen Alhazmi
The first place prize of a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card goes to Haneen Alhazmi, who won with the following photo taken at Sylvester Baxter Park in Somerville:
Haneen submitted two additional photos, which both tied for second place. These were also captured at Sylvester Baxter Park.
Second Place - Hamad Alalyan
Because Haneen already won first place, we're awarding the second place prize, a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card, to Hamad Alalyan for this photo taken at the Boston Public Garden.
Third Place - a tie between Shamma Hamed and Nezar Al Ismail
Finally, there was a tie for third place. Both third place winners win a pair of Museum of Science tickets.
Shamma Hamed took this photo on Babcock Street in Brookline:
Nezar Al Ismail took the photo on the left at Ringer Park in Allston.

Boston Comes Alive! Photo Contest
After experiencing a rough winter in Boston this year, we are enormously appreciative of summer - the weather, the sights, the sounds, the festivals, our communities, and even nature. It all comes alive around us, as if encouraging us to become more lively ourselves. Thank you to everyone who captured Boston coming alive in your pictures, and sending them to us! The editorial team carefully judged each photo, and chose the following winners:
1st Place
|
2nd Place

While the following photos did not win, we would like to give them an honorable mention:
Have a wonderful summer everyone! Keep capturing moments of Boston coming alive!

We would like to recognize other photos we really liked, but that didn't get as many votes.
The Southernmost Point - Nothing says warm and balmy weather quite like Florida and the beach. How about this image submitted by Huiyan (Jessica) Yu, taken at the southernmost point of the Continental USA? We really like the composition and the colors of this photo! Jessica's open arms seem to highlight the vast expansiveness of the ocean while also welcoming in the warm weather of spring, and of course "here I am at the southernmost point!" Rina Hirate had a similar idea, and got the 5th most votes for it in this picture.
Nature Walks - This photo by Abdulaziz Aldamashqi is a preview of the nature walks to come when the weather is warmer! The below photo taken by Faisal Alsaedi shows a beautiful sunset over rolling mountains and lush greenery.
Winter Melts Away - Most of the above photos were taken outside of Boston. Let's recognize these great photos for trying to capture the coming of spring in Boston! In this photo, flower buds overlook receding snow banks exposing soil and vegetation.
A warm thank you to everybody who submitted photos! It was not easy capturing spring. You either had to travel somewhere, or get really creative in Boston. But you did it! Let us know what you thought about the process in the comments section below. If you want to see all of the photo submissions again, visit the album on the CELOP facebook page.
