This is one of those photos that you wish you had captured yourself. Such a fun element to the shot and a wonderful summery feel. Clever use of shallow depth of field has been used by focusing on the clothes and blurring out the girl running down the pier in the distance. Brilliant in every way!

This busy street scene is great. The energy created by the slow shutter speed has emphasised the fast moving traffic and the contrast in the mono conversion works wonders. Well done!

I just love the thought that has gone into what initially seems like a simple shot. Beautifully lit and carefully positioned, the pattern of the tyres stand out perfectly. Fabulous

There's so much going on in this photograph to admire and so many things to capture your attention. The star of the show is the main character and his expression. What is going on to make him so happy? It makes you question more and that's what makes this photograph so successful
