  • Congratulations! When I looked at the picture for the very first time I knew nearly in the glimpse of an eye that we have found our winner. This picture is really an act of balance. The boy shows how fragile our way of being is. At the same time he reflects the strength of a focused mind in the labyrinth of the modern world, which is emphasized by the great structure within the background. Besides the outstanding perception of looking at the world, which is shown in the picture, the format of the picture is quite unusual, this gives it another special touch. At last there is nothing else to say but give the world more pictures like this, keep on shooting!

  • A picture that is calm and full of energy at the same time. The composition supports that feeling when you look at it. An exotic picture from far away!

  • Thank you very much for this Mark Of Excellence award! I shot this picture in Tokyo during the Grand Sumo Tournament, using a Canon 6D, 2000iso, 220mm, f5.6, 1/400. I kept walking around the arena trying to capture the spirit of this multi-contrast ancient national sport: intense and calm, rapid and measured, force and grace. - Victor Mesny.

  • My name is Jose. This photo i shot was at pier 62 skatepark, nyc. Camera | canon T2i with Rokinon 8mm f3.5 lens Edited on lightroom & photoshop. This park is always filled with enthusiastic skaters. For this shot, i had ask the skater if i could go inside and shoot some photos from below. With such a wide lens, i was able to catch more than i could have imagined.
