The solarisation effect is interesting, and the subject's expression pushed home the point.

A cute variation of the theme "Catch". I suspect the man had not realised his long catch.

This is an image of a vanishing trade in modern Hong Kong. And the image was appropriately presented in black&white.

A near silhouette with interesting positioning of the sun close to the rod tip. How we wish the image could include a fish struggling for its freedom.

This image tickled me a lot. It was as if the fish were caught talking ! The reflections made it even more interesting. I would have liked it much more if the eyes had looked sharper, and the reflection ended just a wee bit short at the bottom. Since this was a posed shot, sufficient reflective surface should have been prepared before pressing the trigger.

One of the ultimate chase events where cyclists attempt to overtake each other in a velodrome. The shape of the venue probably lent itself well for such a diagonal composition. And the cyclists seemed to be enjoying themselves.

I like Jojie's use of wide-angle lenses to bring out the drama in her shots. Her first submission of a someone hauling a large fish on his shoulders was superb, but this image has a better story as it portrays an idea of the fisherman catching his own reflection.

The post-processing was nicely done to project the character of the subject. The composition is perfect, and the subject's eye is unblocked. It was probably a momentous shot as the subject had to squeeze through an opening for its prized catch!
