There were wonderful contributions to this competition, needless to say it was very difficult to choose the winning picture. Before the declaration of the top 3 images, I'd like to mention some works I really appreciate:
R_Kartz – Interesting composition, excellent perspective and fast response are all key components in this somewhat gloomy but beautiful image.
Ken Zaret – Magical scene caught in the dreamy light of Edinburgh.
Yulia Smirnova – Rationalistic discussions in Saigon. Wonderful.
Bartosz Kotulski - Two cute Asian kids caught in a magical moment. it seems that their thoughts were captured along with their actions.
And for the finalists:
3rd place - Sandi Whitteker - Nature vs. human nature... Funny little moment, excellent photo.
2nd place - El_vampiro - Funny, bizarre, almost unreal. A truly remarkable blink-and-miss scene.
1st place - Chris Pavona - Sadness, joy, concern, optimism - all these feelings rise when looking at this outstanding capture. Little moment, big picture. Well done!
