  • This is a beautiful dreamy and three-dimensional photograph when you enlarge it on the screen. It has a lot movement, yet a lot of stillness - as a child memory. This is a very rare and beautiful photography; and the winner of the I-SHOT-IT photo competition. Congratulations!

  • What an overwhelming surprise! As a persistent travel photographer with focus on Asian culture- and biodiversity (a subject that now demands a certain idealism), I am seldom fixed. The frame shows my very last impression of a memorable and quite chaotic odyssey through Coronasia. The captured moment marks the supposed end of the Balinese lockdown - the evening before the "New Normal" began. At least the beaches of the Indonesian archipelago slowly filled with life again. In addition to the undisputed national sport of badminton, kite flying seems to be a wider passion. (24mm @ f5.6 FF, moderate post) I thank the jury from the bottom of my heart and would like to express my kind respect to everyone who has been honored here. All the best from Germany, Wolf

  • The quality of this photograph is the sensation of all the people sitting ready to look at two players on the ground. The photographer took the trouble to find the center of the location so as to make a strictly straight photograph. Well done.

  • Impressive perspective and colors. Calming, yet dramatic. What we really appreciate about this photograph is the feeling that we can encompass the landscape, which is quite grand and would be impossible on the ground. It feels very close, doesn’t it? Like within a hands reach.

  • With a view like this you don’t need much more, and you don’t have to leave home. Yet, we feel having this view might make you want to go outside and enjoy it in full. This photograph communicates the view and sensation very well.

  • Thanks a lot for this Mark of Excellence! I took this photo in Iceland in August 2019 with my Leica Q. We went there for dinner (it is a nice Hotel/Restaurant/Bar). We went first to the bar side - from where the photo is taken - and seeing the view...ended up having dinner there! Nice souvenir... Emmanuel - Paris

  • Rainbow, thunder, lightning and an optical illusion of some sort. Rare view, and very well captured.

  • In a moment this duck is going to push the man into the water. Or something … Fun photograph that makes the mind wander.

  • Families getting ready to sit and enjoy the sunset, we presume. Something very familiar and old-school about this photograph.
