  • Fantastic composition! We like how our vision is being guided up the steep staircase, only then to see a stunning head of a beautiful dog. The shadows casted against the wall gives it texture and layers. Excellent post-production, a good example of a great black and white capture.

  • How fun, exploring an under-water world with a young one. The wonders, only a child can give. What lovely, spontaneous image this is.

  • A place which one calls home, yet it is so foreign to others. The colorful candy floss, centered among busy street-life. This capture has a great feel to it, buzzing with energy.

  • ’The perfect catch’, this can be seen literally, as well as figuratively! Truly amazing, how one eye of the fish is visible, in the act of being swallowed. This is one priceless and stunning photo.

  • Being young and being innocent - creating images of children growing up is priceless. Memories of tomorrow. This photo suggests a new chapter to happen, fly high! The dramatic colours with the cloudy sky work well, and give us an idea of the chill in the air.

  • What is the story of this dog, so perfectly standing in the middle of a big wide landscape? Beautifully captured reflections and water, the horizon and clouds. This great artistic photograph deserves to be printed and hung on the wall.

  • The photographer of this image did well, how this dramatic situation was captured. The bird exceeds the frame, which brings us in the moment. The uniform blue sky gives a resting point to the human eye and to the busy subject. Nature, bigger than life!

  • Angie Birmingham, I took this photo while on a trip with Promediagear and the other guests. We went out on a airboat ride and the peregrine falcon came out of nowhere and snatched this Common Gallinule that just took flight. Sony A1 and 600mm f4 lens

  • Timing is everything, and this photo is a great example for this. We love the humor here, how the soccer ball perfectly lines up with the person’s face. Well seen!

  • What great capture from above! This image might have been taken with a drone, or somehow else from high up. The splashes of bright colours, set agains a dark background, is something that really pops out. Also composition works well. A delightful photograph all together.
