The symmetry of this image is immaculate. I especially love circular repetition within this image. Additionally, the repetition within the reflection helps this image stand out. I also love the details in the ceiling and the reflection you have created helps highlight the unique architecture within this image. Overall, the techniques applied in this image earned it first place.

The minimalism in this photo was executed beautifully I love how you highlights the shapes in this photo as well. Moreover, the silhouettes in this image are beautiful and are what originally caught my attention. You fit everything into the frame very well and I am happy to award this a top ten position.

The way this image presents the stairwell is amazing. As soon as I saw it I knew it was a top ten photo. I also love the angle you chose that made this stairwell appear as if it was an eye. Outstanding job and congratulations.
