  • 2001 A space Oddesy arrived in the Netherlands or somewhere that looks slightly familiar, it seems. Strangely simple composition with elements of windmills, nature, agriculture and future.

  • Many thanks and congratulations to all the other winners! In fact, the intention with my picture was to use the mirror elements to focus on contrasts such as nature and animals vs. humans, fallow withered landscape vs. agriculture and ultimately also the future of our planet - I am very pleased that it was understood in the same way. The image is actually a photo in which I only made basic adjustments (colours, cropping etc.), no elements were added or removed afterwards. It was taken in Thuringia / Germany, near a small village there is this "Spiegelarche" - two mirrored shipping container stacked on top of each other. Taken with the Canon 5DMarkIII and the 35mm F1,4 DG HSM Sigma Art by Susanne Elendt.

  • Great colors, use of light and shade and suspense of not knowing all there is to know. Makes you work on your own story about what will happen here.

  • I took the picture at my old aunt’s home. Early morning, she was preparing her daily ritual English Breakfast tea. This is part of an ongoing series called "Aunt Sara". For this image I used a 23 mm on a Fujifilm x-e3.

  • Thank you for choosing my photo to receive the Mark of Excellence. My name is Diane Bible and I live in Portsmouth NH, USA. I took this photo while visiting Cumberland Island off the coast of St. Mary's, Georgia. The island is populated with wild horses, boars and armadillos. I chased many horses that day in the hopes of capturing this duo. I used my trusty Fuji X100V with 23mm lens for this photo. Shot it at f8, ISO 160 with some post processing and cropping. All in all, I was at the right place at the right time.
