Again this shot could have been taken any where in the world. Love the expression on the child's face. Can he believe he has met an elephant. Works very well in black and white and looks pin sharp while also being a little soft focussed.

Absolutely perfectly timed. This shouts out tradition is still needed in this fast paced world with all the technology and everything at our fingertips. I also love the subtle colours of the traditional dress against the bright Red & white vending machines

I keep coming back to this shot time and again. Love the softness of the face in the foreground and how the background face is looking towards the first face. It looks like its a shot of disapproval of the face in the foreground trying to be western.

What I like about this shot is it could have been taken anywhere in the world. Again this photo tells a few stories and at the same time asks a few questions. I keep coming back to this shot time and time again Works well in b&w

Absolutely love the colours in this one. Subtle with the western tourists in the far right watching and taking photos of a very eastern tradition. Love the reflections in the water. The whole scene for me is perfectly timed and captured

Absolutely love the expressions on the children's faces in this shot. To me this shot tells the story of the boys first time drinking Coke Light. Is his face expressing he likes the drink or not, Who knows? Great capture

Brilliant capture. Love the fact that this is a shot of a woman in a market using a plastic bag from one of the biggest supermarket chains in the UK (which I work for). Its for this reason that for me its just outside the top 10 and keep coming back to it

Brief

I am wanting to see your interpretation of what you believe East meets West will entail. This could be a bridge across a major river or even a still life of 2 objects one from the East and one from the West. Colour or black & white but please no old style photos. Please ensure you put a description as well about your subject so I will know what you are trying to achieve with the final shot

A great shot of the small bridge that goes across the River Ness in Inverness. Perfectly timed for the sunset as well and the getting the small starburst from the sun. I Love the colours of this shot as well
