Congratulations to the winner and the two runner up selections of the wide angle photo contest. Casetagram provided really awesome prizes for the winners and the contest’s winning photos have been selected by judge Helen Sotiriadis, a great photographer herself.

First place winner is “Andy Capp” by dotcomjohnny

“A simple black and white portrait, but with great light, tonality and texture.  I love Andy’s eyes and expression and how he stands out against the background which reveal hints of the home inside.” – Helen

Runner Up Selection: “Brain Damage” by BrunoCote

“I loved the alternating dark and light areas and the sense of depth as well as the imaginative and riveting narrative.  I like that it evokes more questions than answers.” – Helen

Runner Up Selection: “Galveston Crimw Scene (color)” by spena

“This picture is highly creative and humorous. The camera angle is great and it succeeds in drawing you into the subject’s place.” – Helen

Thank you to all the participants of the photo contest for submitting your photos. The judge, Ontoshiki Vun, helped us choose the winner and an honorary mention from a large pool of gorgeous photos.

The winner is “Blissful oblivion”  by glefoe

“Evoking melancholy and nostalgia, the photo shows the arbitrary passing of time with the repetition of the two main subjects looking in the same direction. Making good use of a longer shutter speed to show movement of walking pedestrians I felt this photo evoked the most emotion out of the rest.” Ontoshiki Vun

Congratulations to the Honorary Mention winner “Girls at play” by Leepix

“I love the feel of the children playing cheerfully by the sea” Ontoshiki Vun

Congratulations to the People’s Choice Award winner, “As the city sleeps” by steve2

We appreciate the collaboration of Aviary, for making this opportunity a reality, and professional photographer Greg Shmigel for selecting the following winners:

Congratulations to sarahallegra winner of the $100 iTunes gift card and the year of ViewBug PRO with photo Saturn Ascends

“What I absolutely love about this image is the complete sense of fluid motion that the artist has created. The vibrantly colored texture of the red fabric almost becomes one with the texture of the canyon walls — it’s a perfectly, yet almost surreal photograph.  Congratulations on such a creative shot.” – Greg

Congratulations to tomato1236 winner of the year of ViewBug PRO with photo Holland

“While I am a big admirer of surreal imagery, this particular shot grabbed me for it more realistic sense. The lighting in this photograph, as if falls nearly perfectly around the subject is brilliant. The image is almost as perfectly symmetrical as possible, and the shutter speed was set perfectly so to capture the clasp of dust from the athletes hands.” – Greg
