John's picks: 2nd place
Kate Murdoch snapped this photo with her RAZR phone from her boat between North Monomoy and South Beach in Chatham. She said she's been boating all her life and seen a few storms, but has never seen clouds like this. Look carefully, there's even a water spout visible toward the bottom left.

John says: "This photo is amazing in that it captures the details in the clouds, plus the threat that is posed. At first I thought it was taken in the Midwest tornado belt. I like to see people respond to a situation by capturing the moment, and also composing and recording their thoughts about that day. The color -- and the lack of it -- only add to the drama of the clouds and the water spout emerging at water-level."

There's not much he hasn't seen, including covering three winter Olympics, several Superbowls, and the fall of the Berlin Wall in which he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. When on assignment shooting icebergs in the North Atlantic, he had an opportunity to fly a Air Force C135. He crashed in a hot air balloon race that took off from Foxborough when the basket hit the top of a tall pine tree off Route 95. He also has taken the last known photo of fugitive Whitey Bulger wearing a white Red Sox baseball cap. John is a graduate of Boston University, Magna Cum Laude from the College of Communication.
