For some reason this photo will not show in this forum no matter how many times I edit it. If you click on the creating thumbnail it will show it.
Great shot of life and art.

Works on so many levels that I need not mention them here. For those not aware, Aquafresh is a toothpaste! Wonderful capture with great humour.

There is no greater contrast than life and death. I love the way this photo shows how life can flourish even with death surrounding it. A well deserved winner, great shot.
Really has been an honour to win this competition, there are so many great photo's being entered in the show and tell every time I am sure Markus is going to have as hard (but enjoyable) a time judging as everyone else. Please enjoy Markus.
