Photo contest
And the winner is ... Andrew Hefter, 16, of Allen for his photo of the Grand Canyon. He took the top prize in this year's Gordon Parks Young Photographers Competition. He captured this shot while vacationing with a group of students this summer. He stopped when he saw the color of the sky and the outline of the tree. "I enjoy that type of photography," says the Allen High School junior. "I like scenic imagery and dramatic images with vibrant color."
