Camouflage

The square format works perfectly for this little chap who blends in so well with his background. The composition works very well and the focus is spot on. With the bright light the shadows of the main subject and the tree his position is not given away. Great choice of subject as he is very well camoflauged.

The Mantis and his surroundings are so sharp that you have to take a second look to see the Mantis clearly. The colours, lighting, focusing and positioning all combine to show perfect camoflauge. This is spot on to the brief and shows natural camoflauge at its best. Job well done.

A different perspective on camoflauge and exellently executed. Great that some on the mirrored image can blend to the tress behind. This fits the brief with a unique and refreshing interpretation. The muted background tones help this to work and make you look twice.

This image had to be in the top ten as it was spot on brief and yet completely different. The models body painting fits perfecty to the background to create the camoflauge look - such a great idea - and very well executed.

The lighing and mood of this image make it stand out. The backlighting creates an excellent camoflauge look. The focus and composition enhance the image to give a nice relaxed and peaceful feel. The blend of tones and colours are warming.

Excellent use of bold and bright colours to give a different vision of the camoflauge theme. Well spotted as the yellow of the jacket and the bananas - on quick glance - all blend so well. The main subject matter is nice and sharp in focus and the background is just soft enough to create a pleasing image.
