Here are Jason's comments:
I'm kind of at a loss for words, I'm truly humbled. I'm honored to have been considered with so many talented people -- I think at the end of the day, regardless of what gear and which which settings they use, they take pride in their work, and that's what shows.
I photographed this incredible curvilinear home, designed by architect Will Bruder, for a client that specializes in architecturally unique real estate here in Phoenix. I made this photo with only the available light, which was balanced just right at sunset, before shooting the rest of the home during twilight. Since nearly every surface in the home was wood, glass, or polished concrete, I mounted a circular polarizer and adjusted it to help reduce glare, and used a graduated neutral density filter to darken the bottom quarter of the frame, which was reflecting mostly sky. The exposure was 1 second at f/9, ISO 100, with the 24mm tilt/shift lens, shifted up to further highlight the curved wood ceiling.
Thanks, Jason, a great image! Also thanks to all the jurors for their participation.
