Judges Comment

Stellar Image Award

This image is awarded with an unplanned Leica X2 Paul Smith Limited Edition camera to acknowledge it's stellar qualities. We feel this image is one we should have known about, have seen in posters and books. It is a very stylish and expressive image that somehow seem an instant classic. It is an outstanding for have been taken by someone who clearly had the camera ready, saw a very unusual and aesthetic situation arise, one who had the courage to use the camera in the rain, and for taking it. Furthermore taking such a photo and putting through to a competition is a completion of the workflow that is important: To realize that this is a special photo and sending it to the I SHOT IT competition.
