1st place

Judge's comment
I am pretty sure not being the only one whose heart melts down every time when looking at this photograph. It really speaks volumes! It is all about enjoying a summer day at the beach, apparently, but having as the main character an old lady, someone who is rather in the autumn season of her life. That's the age when all the basic things seemingly become a little more difficult, despite all the goodwill and enthusiasm.

Judge's comment
A moody picture with a big impact, speaking about human beings and what means being humans on this planet that we've been gifted with. It is all in one frame about love, birth, life and finally death, since the whole visualization of this beautiful metaphor is projected on the canvas of the sun setting at the horizon, as a symbolic suggestion of the eternal cycle. And it all does happen at the end of a summer day...Very well done!
 

3rd place



Judge's comment
Beatifully executed, a still nature photograph speaking about how we can carry in our hearts a symbolic summer. I love the colours contrast, bringing to the white-greyish background and setting the intensity of the red colour - so specific for summer flowers and fruits. A tensed, though soothing, relationship between the coldness and artificial feeling of a studio (with its "invisible" lighting) and the freshness of the summer fruits and flowers. Well done!
