  • A picture that is so interesting to look at. It is almost like in a dream. Many details and shapes that repeat again and again. It seems like an unobserved moment. The child does not recognize the photographer and is completely in his own little world. The perspective is also unusual and makes this photo outstanding! Congratulations to the winner of this I-Shot-it child competition!!

  • First of all: Thank you so much for your choice! I feel very Honored! I'm Oriano Nicolau an Spanish photographer from Mallorca, Spain. The title of the photo is " Dreaming about stars and heaven" Photo Taken in the never ending summer days of Mallorca. All happened in a fraction, the children were playing with a sand sifter when one of them lied down just for take a bit of sunbath. Lucky I had the camera on hand and take the shot. Equipment: Canon EOS 6D + Canon 28mm 1.8./ Natural light.

  • A beautiful black and white photography of a cool racer. The execution/ post production is great and it is well composed! Interesting is also the modern building in the background that supports the modern look.

  • I appreciate the recognition for this photo! I'm Kevin Van Sant, pro jazz guitarist, amateur photographer. This is one of my favorite captures of my 3yo son (who happens to be my primary subject) on his pedal car at one of our favorite parks. I think of it like wildlife photography, especially when using manual focus lenses such as this was it is a challenge to get a shot that succeeds AND is in focus! Sony a6000 with Rokinon 12mm. Probably f4). Converted to B@W in photoshop.

  • A situation that is funny and somehow powerful and almost aggressive at the same time. Both children fix the photographer with their eyes but in different ways. Interesting to look at. Well captured!

  • A dynamic black and white picture. The focus is on the boy in the foreground and only a small stripe of the ground. It is lively and beautifully executed!!

  • A situation of our times. Could be a modern bedtime story. The reduction and the simpleness strikes. The light in his face and the complete dark background underlines the story in this picture. Really well done!
