Great contest!

Such a simple image that immediately conveys location. Exactly what the brief required. The bold colours and sharpness of this photo catch the eye. Possible a shallower depth of field to throw the background a little more out of focus would make the sign stand out even more , but all in all a super photo.

Fantastic shot, the sharpness of the stag really brings home the majesty of this Monarch of the Glen. I'm even more impressed that you manage to get close enough to shoot this with a 105mm lens in poor light. Well done.

I love street photography although I'm never quite brave enough to take pictures like this. I love the mixture and contrast of old and new in the traditionally dressed woman and the man in the business suit.

I love this shot. You have managed to find a new angle to picture such an iconic location. The building looks almost alien to this planet and yet it is instantly recognisable. I would also love to see this as a monochrome shot.

Such an atmospheric shot with the sun casting those long shadows of the stones. I like the way you have some people in to show the scale of the monument. In my opinion I would probably have removed the jet contrail which takes the eye away from the beautifully textured clouds, but that is only a minor quibble.

Every country has something that once seen identifies the location immediately, think France and you see the Eiffel Tower, the USA brings the Grand Canyon or New York City to mind. So, show your best icons that signal their location without naming the country. This could be a natural wonder, a building, native peoples or even animals and birds.
