Buoy Mess: The pop of color in the buoys that are reflected on the still, dark water makes this perfectly centered shot work in its simplicity.

Summer Hay Bale: We're suckers for rolled bales of hay that aren't covered in white plastic. The grass is slightly burned, and the large bale in foreground is the focus, while the smaller bales dotted in the distance draw your eye into the field and trees beyond.

Bee on Lavender: The composition and muted tones of this shot appealed to us. You can almost feel the soft summer breeze and hear the buzz of the bee from the way the lavender flowers are angled.

Sunflower Fields: Rather than the expected straight on shot of giant yellow blooms, the photographer approached the shot from a different angle. The bits of yellow peeking out around the edges like sun rays make the flowers almost appear to be looking at the scene, which draws your eye to the barn and bit of landscape in the background.

Ferris Wheel: We were drawn to the vintage look and feel of this image. It has an interesting composition that brings back fond memories of childhood summers and one of our all-time favorite rides at Story Land.

I love the buoy picture. Reminds me of the Damariscotta River.
Another excellent shot. Dave’s photos have a special feel to them, the composition is always great, and his color sense is dramatic without being overdone. He always show Maine at it’s best.
The buoy photo is my pick…love the color!
It’s the buoy photo for me.
I vote for Dave’s bouy pic. I just love his pics. I even own some. Support your local artists.
The picture with the buoys is awesome! My hat is off to this Dave guy.
The buoy picture is by far the most striking, with colors that pop!, composition that is at once-pleasing and eye-catching. Obviously this is a real winner of a photo.
I love the Ferris Wheel shot. Looks like an old photo and the composition is wonderful.
The bouy picture is very original and SOOOOO New England – love the colors, too! It gets MY vote!
Laura takes such beautiful shots.
Sunflowers!
Ditto on the sunflowers – love the perspective. And we all love Buttonwood Farm in the summer!
Love the picture of the bouys.
Being a coastal gal myself, I have to cast my vote for the buoy one too! Very nice, Dave!!
What a beautiful picture. Love the originality of the subject matter; that’s what stands out for me. Jessica gets my vote, big time.
Ferris wheel.
Ferris wheel… Such a wonderful composition and beautiful vintage look!
The buoys says it all.
The buoys are certainly stunning!

Buoy Mess–so simple, yet symbolic and powerful! Love the reflections.
The buoys the best!
The buoys are fabulous! Reminds me of this great summer.
Colorful buoys!!
The buoys, by far the best picture
I live in New York State but I love the coast of Maine so I choose the buoys.
I pick the sunflowers – it ‘shows’ the beauty of Maine and it’s summers:0)
