🎫 Our NOMINATED photos, and why:

Nº00417 : John Oakley Werenka (CANADA)
💬Love the composition, highlighting the juxtapositions of depth of the shot, depth of field, and the environment itself.

Nº00452 : Daniel Menin (BRAZIL)
💬There’s multi-dimensional beauty in the shot. It makes you stop to admire it for several reasons. It’s framed well to provide scale and contextualize the space, while composed excellently to show enough detail for the various protagonists in the shot, as well as inspire awe for having been there.

Nº02197 : Abel Ibáñez (SPAIN)
💬This is the kind of image that makes you stop and admire it. Lovely framing and composition choices make it artistic in multiple levels/dimensions. For example, it can be perceived as phallic, in a good way.

💬Beautiful setting, colors, framing, and composition, showcasing contrasts and extremes. Photographer took time to play with shutter to capture the water flow,  without too much jitter on the people of the shot.
