  • Fantastic dimensions, lines, light and shade, proportions and composition makes this photograph one of a kind. We can’t help but keep following the conversation from one person to the next, then follow the lines, study the details - then wonder before we do it all again. This is the winner of the I-SHOT-IT photo competition. Congratulations!

  • My name is Josip Miskovic and i would like to say thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it! The photo was taken on an island of Lake Trasimeno. The place almost completely uninhabited and enchanting, even nature there has remained intact!

  • Almost a “Hello to Henri Cartier-Bresson” and his love for geometric patterns. Funny, beautiful and well captured. A classic.

  • Thank you very much for your appreciation. My name is Roberto Tavazzani and I'm from Italy. This picture was taken at the National Art Center in Tokyo. Waiting for my wife I was really impressed by the same geometry, a triangle, on the façade of the building and the people on the escalator; a sort of histogram. I used a Fuji XM-1 with Fujinon XF 27mm f/2.8 . Post processing was with Lightroom.

  • There may be a life beyond, and a beautiful place. In this photograph they seem to meet the reality and modern technology. Very well-balanced, and beautiful light too.

  • I am so happy that my photograph received a mark of excelence. Thank you for the award and comments. It is important for me because it shows that somehow I am on the right path on being able to create images that convey a message with a considerable quality. My name is Alexandre Machado, I live in Copenhagen. This photograph was taken at the Glyptotek Museum with a Nikon D200 and Nikkor 55 2,8 and small adjustments on lightroom. Again, thanks to the I shot it team!

  • "How long has this been going on?” you wonder when you see this, and at the same time you relate to it, the force, the age, the size and the purpose of things.

  • The lack of colours in this normally colourful vision makes you appreciate the shape of things, and that it is even possible.
