Winners

3rd place by @iamwne

A stunning use of sihouette to creat a very striking shot. The simplicity of this is what helps to create its power. The beautiful warm sunset colours help to create a perfect evening glow. Simply beautiful.

2nd place by @sharker

A very powerful composition. This image illustrates perfect use of the composition to guide the eye around the elements which make it up. The bicycle is placed in the lower right corner where the commonly drawn lines of thirds intersect. Further the piece of land in the background uses perfect rule of thirds placement. Superb work.

1st place by @jang

An unusual and unconventional composition. We have 2 beautiful classic cars as the subject. The eye is guided to the space in between them and then drawn to both sides. The use of monochrome accentuates the shapes and interplay of tones without the distraction of chromatic details. Simply stunning.

Congrats to all the winners and participants!
