Looking For A Home

This photograph demonstrates an intelligent, well-considered interpretation of the brief, 'Looking For A Home - Relocation '. The image is incredibly professional, not only by its execution but also in its concept. Thank you for submitting your work. Your creativity is both inspiring and motivational.

This image stood out to me straight away as it was one which portrays the subject who is continuously searching for a base and a home to call his own. The bright complementary colours work well against the shadows,. Possibly a little tighter crop would improve this image further. Well done on your top ten placing.

This photograph has been in my top ten selection since almost the beginning of judging. It stood out to me as it was a different take on the brief. This photograph depicts a new start in life, it is full of hope and anticipation (although it may indeed be bittersweet to the photographer). The door is slightly ajar, ready for it to be fully opened and your daughter's new journey to begin. I think it's a great photograph. Congratulations on your top placing in the 'Looking For A Home' contest.

Here people are consumed with their busy lives, never once stopping to notice the man crouching on the ground. Space is left around him as people ignore him, avoiding his suffering and plea for help. It seems that it is only the photographer and us (the viewers) who have caught his eye. It is this space in the midst of the surrounding hustle and bustle which draws us in to see the vulnerable person. The height we are viewing from then diminishes him even further. The message, 'Don't Walk By' has been portrayed in a creative, sensitive and powerful way. Congratulations and thank you for entering the contest.

This photograph answers the brief well and could be construed in several ways, 'Lost in London' but also it could represent starting a new life as the person stops, sits and contemplates crossing the bridge to enter the city. The colours, composition and expertise are fascinating. Thank you for submitting and well done!

Thank you for submitting your photograph. The choice of black and white, the 'not quite straight' angles, the unsettling sight of the hand and foot conveys disarray, despair and displacement from the world. Well done on a gritty, disturbing and powerful shot.

Congratulations on your top 10 placing in the 'Looking For A Home' contest. This beautiful photograph was a pleasant surprise amongst many harrowing images. The story you described of the young weaver building his home only to leave and hijack one he'd previously built added further interest. The photograph is perfectly crisp, well composed and a delight to view. Well done.

I wanted to give a special commendation for an image that touched me on a personal level. To see the homeless man with his beloved dog wearing a Liverpool F.C top and the title ''You'll Never Walk Alone". The lyrics to the song say it all, carrying on through adversity and having hope in your heart... Many thanks for entering the contest and giving me the opportunity to view your moving photograph.
