Judges Comment

There is so much to look at in this photo - the peoples faces, the city scene, and of course the roller-skater. It is a perfectly timed shot that works well in black and white.

I would like to thank the judges for their comments. This shot was taken at Île de la Cité, Paris using a Leica M Monochrom camera with a Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 (III) lens (wide open). Post-processing done in Lightroom 5 and Silver Efex Pro 2. Regards, Andrew M. Lance.

Judges Comment

When we say “Wow!” it’s very likely it’s up there in the ranking. In this fantastic exposure the roller-skater reaches high as he catches air and stretches his arms to the sky. It keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. The perspective elongates the horizontal image, leading the eye upward. We love the even formation of the crowd. Awesome shot!
