Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Red Fox | Liliya Nazarova" by liliyanazarova

"I selected this photo as my Grand Prize winner because it's not busy or confusing. It contains many elements that make it stand out, but yet it is not screaming at you. It's the small, simple details made this image work for me.The overall motion and movement are great.The post-processing was very well done, and the use of complementary colors to make the model stand out worked great as well. I like the contrasting elements in this photo. The model's smooth skin over the grungy textured background. The bright saturated reds/oranges against the desaturated teals/greens." - Jesús Ramirez

Congratulations Runner Up "Lingering Spirits" by HouavangPhotography

"I selected this photo mainly because it had a story to tell, and I think that story was executed well. The contrast between colorful and dark among the two subjects in thephoto is great." - Jesús Ramirez

Congratulations Runner Up "Colors in my head" by vondan

"I selected this photo because of the motion and depth it contains. This image really drew me into the image with the falling confetti. I think that both the colors and motion of the confetti helped the image come together. The cropping was also good. By keeping the image tight we really get to focus on the model's face and her expression." - Jesús Ramirez
