Jury's Feedback
1ST PRIZE: Margo Ryan
“The perfect combination of color and light results in a mesmerizing image of reflections and faded tones. Great composition that utilizes the direction of the image while still hinting at the feet to provide context. The warm hues and color palette of the subjects works perfectly with the surrounding background.” – Pia Riverola
2ND PRIZE: Fangzhou Zhou
“Great use of shadow play, color, and contrast to emphasize the architecture and repetition of the arches. The warmth and geometry make the image inviting yet mysterious.” – Pia Riverola
3RD PRIZE: Victoria Ruiz
“Truly captivating, Victoria Ruiz’s image pays homage to the deep-rooted cultural and religious traditions of Latin America. Against the deep-green backdrop, the flower-adorned figures form a mesmerizing mosaic of texture and tone that invites the viewer to explore further. Lit beautifully and framed with the simplicity of classic portraiture, it exudes a painterly quality, capturing the essence of the subject and evoking an otherworldly ambiance, showcasing the profound potential of color photography.” – The Independent Photographer Editors
