  • I really like to look at this photograph again and again. There are so many details to discover. Most of all the different characters. Everyone is looking to another point- this has a dynamic effect and underlines this scene in a good way. Could be a portrait of a family. Their facial expressions are great! I also like the composition a lot. The black and white tones a beautiful- not to strong-perfectly in balance for this scene! Congrats to the winner of the I-Shot-It Street-competition!!

  • Many thanks for being selected as the winner. This photo was taken during the Holy Week procession in Marsala, Sicily. A short moment where everything fell in place. My name is Willem Kuijpers. I live in the Netherlands. I work(ed) as a pro studio photographer. This type of photography became my hobby which keeps me going on, and having fun again in Photography....

  • Thanks for also being selected as one of the runners up besides to be the winner of this competition. This photo was taken on a market in Harare, Zimbabwe. First attracted by the beautiful couple sitting there peacefully. Later I realized that the rhythm of colors and textures added the finishing touch and made the picture complete.

  • This scene puts a smile on my face. There are three different characters. Everyone is looking straight to the photographer. The posture of each person reflects their character. They look a bit like actors of an independent film somehow. I really like it! Thanks for this great photograph.

  • A quite original street scene. The main actors are two two shadows and a chicken. t There is something going on with the two persons- a conversation, maybe two seconds away from a handshake. The chicken in the front is a real eye-catcher. An outstanding and extraordinary picture!

  • A beautiful portrait of an old man, lost in his thoughts. His eyes are filled with sorrow- they may have already seen a lot. Together with the balloons in the back it might tell a story...

  • like the graphic style with the reduction to the essential. The colors fit perfectly together- the red jacket is a real eye-catcher. Together with the background it looks perfect. Perfectly done!

  • A scene that is really well composed. It reminds me of an old painting. Also because of the colors and the light setting. Great work!

  • This photograph is very interesting to look at. There are many details in the reflections and there are a lot of different layers. I also like the soft colors in your picture. Well done!
