Jury's Feedback
1ST PRIZE: Andrei Furnea
“Very good street scene with everyone well positioned. I like the kid looking around at you with the knowing glance. Most times people looking at the camera can ruin it, but this just seems to work well.”— Martin Parr
2ND PRIZE: Bego Amare
“Nice arrangement, with everything well positioned. The arm from the car is echoed with the arm of the cart. The two guys on the left are terrific.” — Martin Parr
3RD PRIZE: Sudeep Lal
“A compelling image, framed tightly to immerse viewers in the scene. It showcases the essential elements of street photography: dexterity and perceptivity, along with a keen sense of color and composition, providing a sense of intimate charm that draws in the viewer.” – The Independent Photographer Editors
