Readers’ Choice Winner: Ossifragus by Kristin Gunderson
The results are in for our 2023 Lens on Lake Minnetonka photo contest.
From July through August, we asked readers to share their shots of the Lake Minnetonka area. From candid portraits to scenic landscapes, vibrant close-ups to artistic abstracts, Lake Minnetonka readers delivered their favorite scenes from the past year. We would like to thank all of the shutterbugs who took the time to submit their photographs of our communities.
Now, without further ado, please join us in celebrating our 2023 winners.
Please note that judges reserve the right to recategorize submissions if they feel the photograph is better suited to a different category.
