- A moment, when many elements line up and create a beautiful photograph. The man’s body, which can be made out under the green plastic, which breaks the light in beautiful ways. Rain brings out reflections and light, a different dimension all together. The colours in this capture are desaturated and go well with each other. The mood in this images is special. Congratulations to the winner of this Street Photo Competition 2021 1!

- City lights from above at their best! The angle from above shows the route of this street well, makes our minds wonder how life could be in this city. The contrast and warm colours make this work well and look beautiful and atmospheric.

- People in this image don’t seem to be bothered by being soaked, in fact they don’t mind at all. Is it a warm summer rain, or even a conscious choice of getting wet? Great composition with a pale yellow following through the foreground to the background.

- I am an Italian photographer. This shot was taken with an old Nikon D90 (somewhat protected with a plastic bag!) in Myanmar, while on vacation. It is a candid shot taken during "Thingyan", the Burmese New Year Festival that usually occurs in April, when getting splashed is considered a blessing. Laura Chiesa

- Excellent contrast and composition in this image, showing it in B&W really underlines the mood of a bit of a mystery. What is going on here? A photo which asks questions, that what we like!

- When musicians take a break, or maybe they are getting ready for their performance? Backstage is, where a lot of interesting situations are happening, and this photograph is proof of it. Well seen and composed. We can tell that the performers trusted the photographer.

- When two bodies become one! This could be mother and child, and we find it lovely how close these two are. Love always succeeds!

- Slightly off-centered, with some space to the left, this is a well composed photograph. It seems that someone is brushing his teeth, unless the I-S-I judge is mistaken. The light falls beautiful on the reader’s face. A fine photo this is, indeed.

- The dynamic here is great, not only the finger pointing up high, in focus. The striped tie equally important, blowing in the wind. A narrow depths of field makes this person stand out from the background. Where is he rushing to?

- Sometimes we forget how busy life can get. This photo shows well how crowds of people can get on with each other in a small space, without aggressions. We wonder if this photo was taken before a world of Covid-19? Hard to imagine if not.
