I think this is a great photograph and take on the brief which really represents the last few years which is why I have chosen it as my winning image.
Those red circles draw the eye in and the colour treatment combined with the cool temperature you have chosen and the gentleman sitting there really makes the image stand out.
The warmth of this image is what draws me to it, the nice orange hues balanced with the natural blue light at the top really pop.
The reason i've not placed it higher is the noise in the shadows because of the high iso used. If this was on a tripod and nice and clean it would easily have been a top 10 contender.
The simplicity of this image really draws me in, ticks all the boxes in the brief and is really composed to draw the viewers eye through the photograph.
I would have liked a little more contrast just to differentiate between some of the levels of greys but i'm being really picky there, it's a great image.
The pop of colour on the TFL worker absolutely makes this image stand out and it was very nearly my #1 choice so you should be really happy with this image.
I like the sense of the tunnel drawing you in towards the back of the photograph and it would have been perfect if the subject was just a little to the right but I think it's a great shot.

Minimalist interior design (and architecture) value simplicity over ornamentation, and see value in the essential qualities of common materials. Inspired by Japanese design, itself rooted in the tradition of Zen Buddhism, and seen by many as an antidote to the chaos of the urban environment. We are encouraged nowadays to seek minimalism in our own lives, and focus on fewer, more essential things. Here we explore how this idea has been exemplified within buildings around the world.
