  • I am very flattered and surprised to have this photo selected as the winner.Thank you judges and thank you I SHOT IT. The photo was taken near Cannery Row in Monterey,California in May 2016. It was taken with my much loved Leica X1 and is a jpeg straight from the camera with no post processing apart from a small crop. I have been an enthusiastic amateur photographer for nearly 60 years. For me the joy of photography is the search for good photos and nowadays I much prefer the simplicity of a small,simple camera which I can carry easily and use quickly and unobtrusively when I see a scene such as this.

  • This photograph is very interesting emotionally, with a heavy darkness to it, as well as the light of hope as in a new beginning. There is not much detail in the photograph as to what is happening, but perhaps that is what allows us to enter into our own imagination. Very well done!

  • The orderly composition in this photograph is the ideal way to contain the chaos of people and activities. We find it calming and at the same time exiting to look at.

  • A dream come through. You own tiger. Or is it a cat? In the universe of a child, we’re sure it is a real tiger and you are best friends. It’s a great photograph with strong colors. We love it!

  • As seen through a mirroring crystal of some sort, this landscape brings us far from home and onto adventure. A unique perspective. Nice work!

  • Thank you for the Mark! My name is Rob Darby and I live in San Francisco. Every year, I make one or more sojourns into the Midwest to chase Supercell thunderstorms. This image was taken in Kansas, May 2016, on one of the most photogenic storms I have ever chased. This image was captured on a Leica SL using a 16-18-21 Tri-elmar M lens.

  • Limited paradise, that’s what we think when we see this. It’s humor and at the same time a very interesting phenomena. Well captures. Simple and effective.

  • Bravo for capturing the inner emotions of this man, as well as the layers of life behind him, all the way to the far corner of the street.

  • An explosion of light and lines. It takes a while before you recognise what it is, and even then you must look again to capture the concept. Well done!

  • Nice view of a road which you might not see when traveling on it. It makes you think of how much work goes into making travel simple.
