The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Attorneys General Association and the Democrat-affiliated group Protect Our Care launched hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of print and digital ads around the country.

"Robert’s image captures just about every aspect of what is required to be a top-level outdoor photographer," wrote head judge Steve Watkins. "From the willingness to go the extra mile to be out there shooting in extreme conditions to the calmness and clear thinking then necessary to pull together a technically brilliant and creatively compelling composition.

It’s an outstanding image and fully deserves the Overall Winner award."
