This photo is really great.First i love the frame because you outplayed us.Everyone watches the fighters as they are at the front of the image, we cant even see their faces,but we see the tension of their bodies and the faces of the two persons that are the main subject. Agony,excitement ,adrenaline ,pain,this image says it all.Nice composition,light and colors.Congratulations and thank you for sharing this with us.

From the moment i saw this image i somehow knew that it was going to be my favorite.It shows that you don't need face expressions to create a feeling. The box stands perfect as a "face" and the position of the body completes it.The frame is really good,the HDR, the composition,the tones,the light.There is nothing that i don't like and i can write a lot of things about the feelings that i feel each time i see it but being the number one from so many beautiful photos says it all.Thank you very much for your partition in this contest and congratulations !

First of all i love the story that is being told here.Friends?Family? it doesn't really matter because we see compassion ,freedom and the joy of feeling the sea.Your tones are lovely,the composition great,the focus as it should be and your light very nice.This is a great photo and also great of you that you captured it.

The hands sometime can say a lot of things as does the eyes.It's beautiful that you chose to photograph the hands instead of the whole bodies.Love after so many years its something very hard to maintain and this couple did it.The details of the hands are great! The light and the shadows compliments the hands and give a nice depth of field.

Brief

See more contest details

In this contest I want to see photos that express feelings: love, anger, loneliness etc. The subject doesn't matter as long as I get a feeling when I look at the photograph. Be creative and try to feel the emotion in your capture.

Is this a party? Is a family dinner ?Well it doesn't matter because the kids doesn't care about that and that is what we see here.The adults are having some fun or they are bored but this little guy is having so much fun with his toys even in a boring place with boring people and no other kids to play.And you know why?Because kids enjoy every moment.The composition,the light,the tones and the depth of field are all very good.I like also the little vignetting the image has.

If i could describe this photo with one word is humanity.A homeless man,with no arm,no clothes ,no home,no food and he is so happy with the kiss of that little dog.Compassion,empathy ,joy and sadness fill my heart as i watch it.We don't need a lot of things to be happy and that is a lesson that we all need to learn.The frame is very nice,the light ,the background,the colors and the shadows are all great.What a nice moment you captured.Congratulations !
