Crowd and
Expert winner

I really just love this image.

It says travel, world culture, devotion and inspiration.

The use of light is magical. The first time I saw this image I thought that's going to be a possible winner. I thought it perfectly represented the brief of Inspiring Travel. Congratulations.

This is great. It shows the youthful spirit of the three young monks enjoying life. The movement is captured perfectly and one can not help being uplifted by it. The limited depth of field with the plain soft beige background helps as well.

Looking carefully at this photo the cyclists are in fact shadows of the cyclists. Its a very clever use of what must be low sunlight giving the long shadows. The elevation adds to this along with the graphic path they take.

A truly intriguing and unusual image.

Meet the expert judge

What an extraordinary image. This photo of the four boys playing in the waterfall is a delight. Capturing the moment of not only throwing of the water but leaping as well, is I am sure, hard to synchronise and this photographer has done a brilliant job. They are really having fun! Truly inspiring.

This shot is impressive.

Think David and Goliath. The heavy lumpy dark brown bison overwhelm the cowboy but he is still in control whip flying above his head.

The lightness of the pasture at the bottom helps give scale to the image

Great shot of Tower Bridge, London. This time exposure gives the feeling of the traffic movement with nice colours against the black sky. The bridge is well lit but not over exposed which can often happen. Just a good well executed shot.
