Photographers Comment
Wow! I was so delighted to get notification that my image had done well in the street category.
My name is Paul Bucknall, I have a passion for street photography, I love exploring urban environments always wondering what may be around the next corner and the opportunity that may be presented. I came across this image doing exactly that, and by luck chanced apon this interesting scene of a boy trying to perfect his handstand whilst his friend looked on. I took a few shots unobserved and this is my preferred result. I changed the image to black and white, I felt it made the overall effect more dynamic
The image was taken in Havana, Cuba
The camera used was a Panasonic GX-8 with 35-100 F2.8 lens used at of 90mm in a 35mm camera equivalent.
The judges comment is also correct you should always carry a camera with you even if it is a mobile phone...remember you never know what's around the next corner!
Thanks again for choosing my image and the kind comment about the shot!
