Judges Comment

Great composition and colors make this a superb photograph. Both of the ladies are wearing a fur coat in the same color and the texture gives this photo a mirror effect. The reflection in the puddle completes it. Congratulation to the photographer!

Photographers Comment

I was walking in Iseo (Italy) near the lakeside in a really cold but sunny afternoon when I saw theese two ladies approaching; my istinct told me to shoot as fast as possible to get the right moment but my reason said to wait a little bit more till the background couple reflection appeared on the water (this was a lucky choice). For digital street shooting I like to use Nikon 50 mm f1.4 on Dx format (75mm). This lens really helps to isolate subjects without being too intrusive.
