  • There be chaos. This is an extraordinary aerial shot showing perfectly the mess caused by our city environments when left uncontrolled. Your photo shows the poverty and overcrowding of this Bangladesh ship yard city and the overflowing mess polluting both land and sea. The image is shocking and a real eye opener to the problems facing and choking our planet and its people. Congratulations, you win this round with this most original and raw photograph !

  • I am really very honored with first place in this city competition. I was very confidence for this result. My name is Azim Khan Ronnie and I am freelance photographer and journalist from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Photo was taken with DJI Mavic Air Drone. I loved Arial photography. Photography is not my hobby, it's my passion!

  • This is a great shot with an amusing angle. We feel the atmosphere of a bustling market and fast growing though very poor city. The tower of eggs and its fragility mock the concrete towers under construction in the background.

  • Beautiful day rise over Dubai. An original slant on the extraordinary architectural “accomplishment" that is this city where man has pushed construction with steel, glass and concrete far beyond any natural limits leaving the ordinary world way down beneath the clouds. This picture, despite its aesthetic beauty, illustrates perfectly the disorder of our modern world.

  • A graphic take on city dwelling. So many windows and so little space for the people…

  • A new life for this old city. This makes it through more for its story than the quality of the photograph. These ancient buildings have survived through the ages to become a modern day tourist attraction and curiosity.
