Otsego High School graduate Jason Hatfield has garnered the attention of the Smithsonian Magazine.
His photograph of Bryce Canyon renders the night sky in deep blues complemented by the green of the pines and brown canyon walls.
Hatfield had traveled to Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park to photograph last May's solar eclipse. He had not originally planned to take any photographs that night. He had just "happened to be there."
He is modest about his entry to the Smithsonian Magazine. "I'm just happy to be included" in the contest. "I feel the image really conveys the sense of travel in America. If you think my photo is the best in the travel category, by all means vote for it."
About 8,000 people arrived at Bryce Canyon National Park last May to watch the solar eclipse. Among them was Jack Garrett, the man at the bottom of Hatfield's photograph.
In November, the contest judges will pick a winner from each of the 5 categories and an overall grand prize winner. The Smithsonian Magazine also has a Reader's Choice Award.
Local residents can vote for Hatfield's image by going to www.smithsonianmag.com/photocontest then scrolling down to click on the "Announcing Our 2012 Finalists!" button. There, the person must click on the Travel tab to find Hatfield's photo.
