  • What a lovely image! I really like the beautiful black and white tonality and the strong contrasts. It fits perfectly to this scene. The expression of the boy is fabulous. It makes you smile when you look at it. The kids in the blurry background underlines this scene also in a good way. It tells a story to me. Congrats to the winner of this I-shot-it child competition!

  • I'm very pleased to be a finalist with two pictures at this competition! Thank you very much for the Mark of Excellence and the friendly comment. My name is Irina Sigl and I´m a photo enthusiast from Germany. This picture shows my two boys playing in the bath tub. In this age they loved to explore the bubbles of the foam and often could not get enough of it! In order to generate extra foam, they sometimes emptied almost a full bottle of bubble bath into the water until the foam was almost a meter high! A little bit you can see their bad conscience in the picture! But the fun was worth it! ;-) The picture was taken with a Nikon D300.

  • First - many thanks for the Mark of Excellence! I am very honored! My name is Irina Sigl and photography has been my greatest passion since I was a kid! This is a picture of my son when he was 5 years old. Even as a little boy, he was able to mesmerize anyone with the piercing look of his big blue eyes. That has remained so until today! The picture was taken with a Nikon D300.

This boy LOVES trains - and his grandfather build him this marvellous model train railway, which actually had its own room (because its HUGE) I love his eyes and silence watching this magic world.

  • An image that gets more and more interesting when you look at it for more than one time. It has so many details. It is somehow also a little bit confusing. Could be a scene from a movie. Well done!

I love shooting families and children in their own surroundings, in the beautiful everyday life! I took this phot with my NIKON D5. I visited this family, who lives in the countryside in Denmark - and they have chosen to live a very simple life, with no tv, computers, iPads and home schooling the children. They are a part of a project of mine with diversity families. This is two of the boys in the family of 5 kids.

  • A really interesting and outstanding picture. The composition is clear, the eyes moves immediately to the horizon. It is really important for this actually lively scene. If you look lower it becomes playful and it gets more details. it is perfectly in balance and really interesting to look at!

  • An outstanding picture that shows a complete different way of everyday-living of a boy in a wheelchair. The angle you have chosen might have been the best way to show his facial expression- You tell a story with your picture. Of course also a great post production!
