Winners:
@shadstory
Commentary
@itchban: I really like how full the entire frame, how the subject is framed by her store, the overall edit, but most importantly the subject herself. @shadstory has done a great job capturing her in a moment which shows emotion and makes you want to know more about her story. Good job and congratulations.
@_davidsark: I love how the framing draws my eye straight to the interesting character who I could see as a part of a Wes Anderson film. Although the subject is front and centre there are many more details surrounding her that help to reveal more of a story within the overall frame. It is an image that instantly caught my eye. A deserving winner!

Commentary
@itchban: I really like this photo for the character and his expression that @eldalieee has captured. The size of the subject in the photograph, in additional to the uniform really gives a sense of authority. I also like the heavy snowfall in the background and how well the subject stands out from the background. Good job and congratulations.
@_davidsark: I was drawn to the overall feeling of this classic New York scene, picturing what it would feel like to be patrolling the city streets in the cold snow. I love the framing and the strong depiction of the character on the job keeping a watchful eye over the city. Great capture.
@hotherside
Commentary
@itchban: This is one of my favourite Geisha shots that I’ve seen from Kyoto. I like the direction of the image and how the alley way leads from one side of the from to the other. I like the story it tells of how the tourist crowd in the distance is all in awe and trying to capture a photo of the Geisha walking away. To finish it off, the light and facial expression on the Geisha tells a great story. Good job and congratulations.
@_davidsark: Photos of Geishas are a dime a dozen but I think this is a great example of being in the right place at the right time, being prepared and making the most of the light that is available. You know it’s a great photo when you think to yourself, damn I wish I took that! Such good timing.
