I chose this image because it demonstrated nature’s destructive force in art & science. Scientifically speaking, the change in flow due to the break caused by the road is clearly visible. Artistically, I think the boat still floating, cars tipped over, and buildings getting consumed demonstrate that nature rules all.

Second Place. Very interesting photo. I like how it captures the levee at the moment right after failure.
