Centered Compositions Photo Contest Winners
Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos showing the main subject in the middle in the Centered Compositions Photo Contest with chances to win a Nikon D7100 and more!
"Looking at so many images at once, all with the subject in the middle, was a daunting task. I first went through all of the photos. Then I proceeded to go through them again and pick out the ones that spoke to me. By that I mean the images that I really wanted to look at longer, or ones that got a reaction. I came up with more than I should have, with a few on the side that were possibilities. I knew I had to pick no more than 6. I kept going back to "The lost board”. The angle - from the air and the colors are striking. I could make up so many stories about the image, and that is what defines a successful photograph to me. The subject matter is not the only important aspect of an image, but the tones of a black and white image, or the colors in a color photograph play important rolls. Everything must work together to seduce me to want to jump in and become a part of the image, to study each corner as I learn more about the photograph. Congratulations to all of these photographers! It was a pleasure to look at them all." - Jill Enfield
