  • First, many thanks, I am totally blown away. I had forgotten that I signed in for this competition and only found out when I searched in my spam folder for another mail. My name is Jesper Bjarke Andersen, and the picture is from the little island in Denmark called Bornholm. Camera is Leica Q1

  • Excellent balance in the composition, the black silhouette in the misty surroundings. A pure pleasure to look at in all it's apparant simplicity.

  • Thanks very much to the judges for the great comments! I took this image on the beach in Australia, just south of Sydney, with my drone, just as I sensed a moment with the two boats coming together. Thank you!

  • A fish bowl in nature. Of course it's not, but it sure looks like a special phenomenon. Beautiful bokeh and tones.

  • Effective special effects in this, either provided by nature or made by the photographer. The result is effective and locks in our attention. Would be great as a wall-size print.

  • First we look at it, but then we start noticing the people and the situation and the photograph expands to a story to wonder about. Great work!
