2/4 Runner-Up: "Peaking Through the Clouds," by Kristine Boise, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey

Kristine writes: "This photograph shows the top of one of New Zealand's numerous snow-capped mountains, peeking through the layer of clouds around it. I took it from a plane going into Christchurch with my Canon Powershot SD450. I later edited it with Adobe Photoshop to increase the contrast."
