- After a few seconds you find yourself counting the trees and the stripes in the snow to see how it all adds up. Well spotted and excellent captured!

- Thank you very much for this Mark of Excellence! It was a lucky moment to see these tree shadows and to photograph them! I took this picture in April of this year near my home in Menzenschwand (Black Forest, Germany) with my Nikon D7100 and a Sigma lens at 90 mm, f/9,5 1/250 ISO 200. Post-processed with Lightroom.

- Playfull composition of two of the same, or something like that. There’s a lot of mood and life in this photograph, using relatively few elements. Great work!

- If trees could walk … it’s almost as if they have been at war with each other and then died out. Excellent seen and captures.

- Breathtaking composition where the eye starts at the black silhouette and follows the shadow to the women talking about her. Well worth the time to consider what it’s about and what is being said.

- Thank you very much for this Mark Of Excellence! I took this photo 2017 at the Freak Valley Festival. It's the energy loaded singer Mikey Tucker of the Australian Band Mammoth Mammoth who is crowd surfing in front of me. I've seldom seen a band with so much energy live on stage. Leica M9, 35mm Summilux ASPH, f/5.6 1/500 ISO 640.

- A great freedom photo. There’s something very free and unattached about this, even there is so many attachments in this photo. As if something is going to happen once the girl swings back towards the viewer.

- A real memory. That’s what this looks like, and then you wonder if it’s from a week ago or from 30 years ago. As a viewer, you want to be part of that story.
