Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos showing foregrounds in the composition in the Strong Foregrounds Photo contest with chances to win Gift Card Bundle and more!

A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer LOPAMUDRA TALUKDAR for her collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest. Lopamudra was fascinated by the world of photography ever since she was a child but never thought of taking it up seriously until she was gifted a Canon 5D Mark II as recently as 2010. It changed the world around her. She is particularly captivated by the diversity of Indian culture and how different it can be from Kashmir to Kanyakumari! Her photographs have been accepted and exhibited by International Salons. She has been awarded the honour of AFIAP by the Federation Internationale de l'Art Photographique. Her works have also been published in numerous Travel magazines.

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Boulders_Snow_Feb12_2017_Watermark " by sdondero

"A strong image, perfectly composed. The picture would have been immaterial without the tree in the foreground. It is such a nice contrast to the textured background of the snow. A winner in my opinion." - Lopamudra Talukdar

Congratulations Runner Up "I'm free , she said" by PoloD

"Once again a very strong image, one which makes the viewer imagine things, more like a short story with a twist in the tale. The sharp foreground is the perfect foil to the blurry background. The leading lines have also been put to good use." - Lopamudra Talukdar

Congratulations Runner Up "Gargoyle on Notre-Dame" by jaybirmingham

"An iconic image of Paris. Not a unique point of view but nevertheless I love the treatment in monochrome. Once again the background complements the foreground to perfection, the inclusion of the Eiffel helping the viewer identify with the cityscape." - Lopamudra Talukdar
