  • I am overwhelmed and hardly believed my eyes when I read your mail! I do feel very honored that you like my picture and granted it the first price even more when I saw the other pictures in the competition. They are all great and therefore I am very happy to be the lucky one. Thank you very much. The picture was taken on a flight from Frankfurt/Germany to Zurich/Switzerland. My name is Herman Schlindwein and I live and work in Frankfurt, Germany. The picture was taken with an iPhone and has been post processed with iPhone internal apps.

  • Thanks to the jury and Tim, for chosing my photo for a Mark of Excellence TOP10. This 1966 Mercedes-Benz W111 250 SE Coupé is such an awesome car. The Photo was taken with a Canon EOS 5D2, the 35mm 1.4L and a 430EXII-Flash. I think it was like 4 or 5 shots.

  • Feeling honored getting the Mark Of Excellence Award. Thank you so much! My name is Maria del Mar Villa André, owner of Photodesign Maria del Mar. This Photo of the nice Ferrari 365GT is taken in the Garage of a customer near Frankfurt (Germany). I shot it with a Canon D Mark II a SIGMA 24-70mm 2.8 lens and a softbox. The only post processing was to remove a few scratches on the mirror.

  • Thank you! It can be so hard to catch a unique shot of the Blue Angels at airshows as fast as they are maneuvering.
