Douglas Lees’ Eclipse Award Was A Snap

With two Eclipse Awards and three honorable mentions, this Virginia photographer is among an elite crowd.

“I love getting published. It’s sort of like a drug for me, a real rush. But winning an Eclipse Award again after 29 years just blows me away,” declared Douglas Lees on learning of the coveted honor.

Lees’ entry, “Down to Earth,” shows timber horse Navesink View nearly vertical over a post-and-rail fence. Jockey Will Haynes is in mid air and upside down but still holding the reins.
