David Keith Brown — No. 1.
"Balloon dance "--Central Java Tegal
" in Central Java Tegal The women dance with the balloons during the back alley celebration. ”
” My eyes were immediately attracted by two couples fixed on the balloons. This happened in a young child in his own private world, perfectly framed in the center of the image, and seemed to be fascinated by his balloons; isolated but equally fascinating. What I found interesting is that the age difference between the couple on the left side of the picture seemed to be adolescents, while the other side was a female, one slightly visible, the other A less obvious one, only by her jewels, can only be identified by her left hand. Drawing a quarter-month face on a balloon adds extra suspense. Both ladies carry unique brand-name handbags. Maybe they are good friends or relatives, enjoying the day with their children. Looking at this photo, there is still a lot of room for imagination; a carefully arranged, decisive moment that captures intimacy and friendship. It is now a strong visual narrative, frozen by time. "— Jamel Shabaz
Erich Warrenberg - second place.
"Frank Street View"
⁁"Perfectly timed high contrast street view, colorful street facade reflected on the rear window of parked cars and walkers, framed at the entrance of the building."
" This interesting picture captures many Stunning elements. From the cinematic feeling and emotions generated by the lights and layers of tones and shapes, to the overall composition and clever perspective, and the technical process, all of which are important components needed to make this unique and surreal image. What impressed me most was how photographers perfectly capture the silhouette subject against a bright background while capturing all kinds of textures and nuances in this frame. This particular photo was made with great skill and creativity.” — Jamel Shabaz
Julien Schoener—third place.
"Shadow of the early steel age of New York" - New York, USA
"The sun comes out, these beautiful shadows appear, telling different stories about space, time and dimensions. An illusion of the first black and white photo in New York during the steel structure of skyscrapers."
" A wonderful picture shows the potential for a higher perspective in street photography. From above, the dark figures and their umbrella form an almost-closely engaging composition and immediately reminiscent of the works of 20th-century greats René Burri and Andre Kertesz." - Independent photographer edited
