  • This is marvelous, a clean composition of so many lines and blocks all slotted together just nicely. It is an eye-catching colourful shot, contrasted and punchy, so much detail, so many windows…you have succeeded in turning a chaotic inner city urban scene into a beautully graffitied, bright and interesting image. City it is indeed, and a perfectly well organised mess! Congratulations, you win this round.

  • This one is fun, i love how the headlight lines are so wobbly, weaving their ways like so many scribbled colourful lines. You have caught a very vibrant and busy, somewhat chaotic Dhaka city scene. Great photo, well done.

  • Jaipur’s Palace of the Winds looks so good here and takes on a ghostly presence with this coloured veil of traffic lights. Amazing building it is and your photo of its intricate design is so refreshing, well done.

  • You have certainly caught the crisp light in this beautiful shot of London’s Tower bridge, and a nice high angle… from the Shard maybe?

  • Lovely seized picture of Paris romance. The harsh light serves you well, but this might have done better in the street theme…

  • I am delighted you marked my photo with excellence! I took the photo this september on a warm and sunny day with a borrowed Fuji X20 as a JPEG, so I did not have many options for post-processing. Just a little contrast an conversion into black and white. Greetings from Germany @photogenique.de

  • A familiar view of Dubai’s spaghetti junction but with a surprising very long cloud moving exposure, mixed with a traffic stopping short one, making it look like the world has stopped dead. Definitely one you need to come back to.
