Honourable Mentions — 10 Steem Each

Submitted by @adamt
I love the colours, motion and composition here. It reminds me of playing Tony Hawk games when I was younger:

Great composition, colours and moment of capture

Submitted by @djm34
I love the composition most of all on this one as well as the fact that one bird is in flight and one is sat on a post. I also like the look between them.

For a beautiful high contrast black and white photo which was also captured at just the right moment:

Another gorgeous composition with fantastic colours and perfect moment of capture.

Third Place — 50 Steem

Submitted by @stansmith
“Unlike the others this is a monochrome shot. I feel that this helps to emphasise the shapes here and help us focus in on the boy in the air. He is placed perfectly in the frame and his expression and pose right. The photographer in the background also adds another point of interest and helps suggest the location of the ground further exaggerating the sense of flight. This shot was also captured on film and I love the analogue feel of it. Once again a beautifully done shot.”

Second Place — 100 Steem

Submitted by @sharker
“Again this is a perfect action shot. We have the motorcyclist in mid flight. I love the contrast of the dark background with the vivid colours of the motorcyclist and the the bike. The composition is also beautiful by being off centre. I also appreciate the shafts of light coming in from the top left corner of the frame. Another fantastic piece of photography.”

First Place — 150 Steem

Submitted by @kranartz
“I loved the way @kranartz captured the movement of the dog. The image is beautifully sharp and crisp - I love how you can see the hairs on the dog very clearly indicating the exposure was appropriately fast. This shot really says "action" to me. The composition is perfect and the moment of capture is just right with the dog in mid-air. Overall this is an amazing shot.”
