My name is Aldo Ruotolo and I’m an Italian amateur photographer, I am very honored to be the winner of this round and really appreciated your comments. This photo was taken in Cres. I was waiting for the appropriate timing to take a picture of the sunset, but a subject was missing. Then a child arrived with his fishing pole, I took a couple of pictures and selected this one where he was stretching his body to reach the tip of the pole. This picture has been taken with Leica M9, Voigtlander 28mm at f/2 and it’s as it came out of the camera with no post processing (the M9 was set to mid-high for both contrast and saturation). Thank you very much!

A bit of suspense in this evening photo made with flash. Great colors, and the subject popping out of the picture. Very beautiful photograph.

My name is Jennifer McCarthy and I took this photo on my friend's farm in Longmont, Co. I use a Canon EOS 1DX camera and did post through Lightroom using the Vivid preset. This was done using flash :)

As a good novel turned into a painting, this photograph contains it all. Great muted colors, an exceptional perspective and a hand reaching to help.

It looks beautiful, but it’s a trap. It’s also a lot of work. We can look at this for ages, it’s fascinating. Well captured!

A moment to consider things, a photograph taken in an unguarded moment. The composition with space and the couple behind gives more possibilities for the viewer to consider. Nice work!
