  • Sure this is in tourist brochures, but in this photograph we feel as if we are alone and the first to see this wonder. Great cropping for suspense.

  • My name is Wolfgang Weinhardt, I am a German photographer and "I travel the world".*smile* Thanks for taking the picture into account. Captured in Ellora, Maharashtra, it is truly the first picture of my 15 years of photography. As the roof of the temple is absolutely taboo and not accessible, it is a kind of a lucky shot. (Nikon D70 + Kit-Zoom @ f8) I would like to express my kind respect to everyone who has been honored here. Congratulations to Bangladesh!

  • Thank you for the award and congratulations to the other winners! I am an animal and pet photographer based in Germany and was just about to take pictures of the two males when they got into a dispute for a few seconds so that I could capture at the right moment. Fortunately, the fight ended quickly and without injuries.

  • The layers of moods and viewpoints in this one photo are obvious, even if it is just a seemingly random photo of a group of people.
