Judges Comment

We find this image interesting for the atmosphere and the technical qualities. There are several layers of history going on with the man in the front as the obvious focus.

Photographers Comment

Thank you thank you thank you! It is an honor to be selected among this excellent competition, I really very much appreciate the mark! (I would have accepted the $$ and the MM as well... LOL). Congrats to the winner(s)! I am Markus from Zurich, Switzerland, and this picture was taken at the Forbidden City in Beijing, China about a year ago with my Leica M9 and the 50mm Summilux ASPH, for those who are interested.
