Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "A Tranquil Evening" by ashagiharahap

"Simple yet elegant composition. The choice of a black and white process made this shot standout and the long exposure really accentuates static objects, such as the pier, which invites the viewer into the frame. Congratulations!" - Alex Stoen

Congratulations Runner Up "Loch Ard, Scotland" by sandracockayne

"This Scottish scene caught my eye because of the sense of place it conveyed, inviting us on a journey, while maintaining the pier as the main subject of the shot and keeping all the elements well distributed and balanced in the frame. Well done!" - Alex Stoen

Congratulations Runner Up "Sunset in the Keys" by clfowler

"This pier invites us to embark on an adventure to infinity... The vastness of the ocean and the sunset on the horizon really help to balance the composition. Again, the pier remains the main subject and helps transport the viewer into the scene. Well accomplished!" - Alex Stoen

Congratulations Runner Up "Gateway to paradise" by SoniaM

"The colourful reflections really help frame the main subject of this well composed and executed shot. The "spot-on" exposure draws the viewer in, to experience firsthand this magical landscape of New Zealand. Great job!" - Alex Stoen
