Stefan Hefele is author of several magazines and has recently published his first book, which appeared in Rheinwerk Verlag.
"I love this photo. It´s clean composed it´s moody and the snail provides the necessary wow-effect. " - Stefan Hefele
"A macro portrait as from the instructional book. Expressive, detailed, contrasting and a beautiful lighting. Congratulations for the silver medal." - Stefan Hefele
"Less expressive but technically deluxe I chose the bizarre Snowflake by Shutterspeedblog for the third place. It´s a portrait of an ice crystal I haven´t seen before with a wonderful lighting which brings out the phantastic structure. Congrats!" - Stefan Hefele
