Picture Perfect: Lens on Lake Minnetonka 2015 Results

Shutterbugs,
our 2015 Lens on Lake Minnetonka photo contest has come to a close, and we
thank our readers for their gorgeous photo submissions. 

A
panel of judges chose a winner in each of five categories (Wildlife &
Nature, Activities & Events, City Landmarks, People & Families, and
Pets). We included runners up as the number and quality of photos allowed. In
September, readers also voted online for their overall Readers’ Choice
