I love how so much emotion and love can be implied in this photograph without showing anything but some hands. Photographing both still and moving subjects in one image is very challenging but you have managed to get the focus exactly right. I also like the decision to make it black and white. Beautiful photograph.

I feel this image really captures the passion and imagination of the crafter. The lighting is beautifully soft and focus is perfect. It feels like we are glancing into a moment in time, and definitely doesn't feel like a staged photograph. Really beautiful photograph. Great work!

This photograph is a perfectly captured moment in time. I love how you have caught the sparks exactly right. The lighting on the main subject is also beautiful and I love how immersed he is in his task. Gorgeous photo.

I love how well you have captured the texture and tone in this lady's hands. It hasn't been overedited or exaggerated, it just captures her wonderfully and focuses on her creating her craft. Gorgeous image conveying a passionate crafter - nice work.

I love this unusual and varied view of the pencils. Well-lit and well-focused, you have captured their texture perfectly, I almost want to reach out and pick one up. I love how they don't look too staged or perfect, very natural. Great image!

Absolutely beautiful image. I love how the edit almost makes it look like a painting. The lighting on her hands is great and I love how the implied movement in the image is drawing my eye to move across the photograph.

I love the implication in this photograph of what is going on in the greater scene outside the frame. I feel like we have glimpsed in on a paused moment in time. Lovely use of colour and light and I love the chosen depth of field here. Great work.

I love the way we can feel her indecision and sense how she is contemplating what to create. You don't even need to show the craft or painting itself to understand exactly what is going on in the subject's mind. Very clever and beautifully executed.

This photograph goes to show that simplicity really can be stunning. Though the subject itself is not complex, the execution is absolutely terrific and creates a very striking image. Well lit, well focussed and well captured. Great work on this!

I love how this image ties together it's main subject and the background as part of a story together. Really beautiful lighting, and I enjoy how the fountain pen is not placed too perfectly, it seems like a natural scene. Gorgeous image.

I absolutely love the framing and composition of this photograph. It's so unusual and works really well. The lighting and the focus are also really beautiful and this is just a generally really well-executed photograph. Keep up the good work!

The framing in this photograph is what really makes it! The image is very well composed. But also the lighting, focus and colouring give a very professional look. It has a 'National Geographic' feel to it. Great image - nice work!

An all around stunning photograph. The lighting, mood and composition here are just absolutely beautiful. I love how the moody feel of the scene shines through. The motion blur in contrast with the perfect focus of the subject is also really lovely. Great work!

I absolutely LOVE how this scene has been lit. It's unusual and daring to backlight the main subject like this, but it creates a really beautiful image that catches the eye and sets a mood. Absolutely stunning - great work!

Gorgeous use of colour and repetition. The lighting reflecting off of the subject is also just stunning, I love the harsh shadows. I also love how the hat ties the subject into her surroundings. Beautiful image - really nice work..
