This is one of my favourite entries for this theme. I particularly liked how the photographer has managed to capture all of the architectural lines and texture of the buildings. Lovely vibrant colors enhance the image and I like how the eyes look straight back at you. A clever photo and a worthy winner.

I really like how the photographer has captured the detail of the architecture whilst using the silhouette of a person to give the image scale. If the image had been cropped to remove the shadow on the right hand side this would have moved focus onto the subject which would in my opinion would have improved the overall composition.

I like this photographers interpretation of the the look up theme. I like how sharp the pigeons are and how they are all lined up on the overhead wire. The soft texture of the clouds in the background make the birds stand out and I like that the photographer has composed the image drawing the eye across the image, corner to corner.

If you’ve ever been on a walking tour of a city, then you may have got out of the habit of never looking up when treading the pavements. There are rewards aplenty when you look above the storefronts and front doors, and marvel at the architecture that lives there. Usually less tampered with over the years, more authentic, and in cities rewarded with views of taller buildings too. As well as buildings, there are urban trees, construction cranes, monuments, and more. Go exploring and see what you can find.
