I’d like to thank all the talented photographers who posted their entries.
It was difficult to make a choice, because I have seen several photos which I liked in a special way.
Of course the final choice depends only on my personal taste and can be fully questionable.

Three honourable mentions in casual order
Jeff D


John C. de Freitas


Allen Hart


Third Place
Chris Bladon
I like the way this picture matches the theme of the competition. It shows how an original composition can make original also one of the most photographed subjects.
Maybe a slightly closer crop would have made the composition even better. But it’s a detail.
I really like the idea and the harmony of hues too.



Second Place
Marcel de Jong
A perfectly balanced composition where every element of the image is important and complementary with the others.



First Place
John Barreiro
I like this photo for many reasons, but keeping my judgment only to the theme, I might say I was impressed by the effective elegance of composition.
The empty street with only the presence of a young woman with a child and a bird, perfectly framed by the porch, the angle.
There is nothing superfluous, nothing too redundant, but at the same time it’s a picture full of interesting details.
My congratulations, John!

Congratulations to all the winners. A wonderful topic and a great learning experience for me.

Thanks for the honorable mention. I really like your choice for the winner. I thought it was a stand out when I looked through the entries. Congrats to all the other winners.

Thank you, Marisa. The winning photo was the last one I picked. In fact I had another chosen and just before hitting submit, I thought about the topic and replaced it. Congratulations to all of the other winners. I'll set up the next contest up soon.

Congratulations to all of the winners....
