"Unique moment with unstable framing. Could it be taken from a little bit more lower angle for the sake of to see some other faces?" - Ozan Bilgiseren

"The colors are nice, the timing is good. There is no such technical problem, but who knows what it would look like from another point of view? In this shot, the head of the child is perceived as dangerous situation like it will be hitting the concrete". - Ozan Bilgiseren

"This image has extremely good use of sunset light and background. The moment is also timed perfectly. This is a decisive moment matching the theme of the competition perfectly. Having more children in the background would be better, right now the child feels a little lonely without a group". - Gang of One

"Some abstract objects are very useful to reinterpret ordinary places but how about adding lively elements in to the frame? That would also be bringing a scale. Birds, skaters, some crowd? You name it." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"The joy of life is overflowing from the eyes of the little lady. Witnessing this very sincere moment should be good chance of photographer. With this warm smile, it would be good to see some glittering powder floating in the air to capture or to boost the concept of the unique moment I guess." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Perfect view with the perfect(bad) weather, could make a sentimental(good) scene for the movies such as The Lord of the Ring! 9:16 is a perfect proportion for this picture too, congratulations! Think of panoramic next time." - Gang of One

"Soft light patches on grass, beautiful dramatic clouds on endless blue sky. Old rustic wagon wheels reminding some feelings and things like: Once there was life on that terrain and a little bit of "Wild West" plus a "Pink Floyd" album cover. Very rich colours very plain composition exquisite light, relaxing the mind." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"It is obviously fictional but a beautiful photo. How could it be associated with the moment concept? On the other hand everything about photography could be easily related to this. Some photographers are keen to capture elusive moments in life others are eager to stage the scenery. I guess these types of photographers are closer to the cinema." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Direct sunlight is a compelling factor in controlling lighting ratios not only for mobile phones but also for all cameras. The dynamic range of the camera ccd must be higher in order to see more midtones. But with today's technology, it is not easy to achieve this in a mobile phone. Perhaps for this reason there is no other choice than to wait for the sun to set a little further or to be veiled by a cloud." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"First glance at the thumbnail size of the image; I thought they were standing on a roof, but when I enlarged it I saw the steep road.Brick-colored road is actually a good discovery, but I wondered how it could be in a horizontal version or how slightly wider framing would have created the alternative of it.Perhaps within a larger frame the confusion of the bikers would be providing a feeling of more being lost; with the growing sky and road margins." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Sometimes photography is about discovering. Boy meeting his shadow is a very interesting shot. Muddy water made a smooth background and the timing is not bad either. But this photo is too straight & too plain.It seems like it needs extra elements to attract some of our attention also in to the water. Maybe more shadows on the surface. But a very good discovery." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Very special, silent moment for the prayers and the point of view is excellent. Wide angle is necessity for these kind of situations and good to have them in mobile phones in these days. Exposure amount seems ok, everything looks fine except the over saturation." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Traditional handicrafts professions are about to vanish. This kind of witnessing is an important aspect of documentation.Sickle master has an intensive concentration on his work and the background is pitch black which is good to see the smoke but the black background also increases the feeling of emptiness. Nice shot." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"The groom and his closest friends walk towards the unknown, this is a classic. The groom seems to be in a good mood as we are used to seeing it in such situations. Maybe the best part of this photo is the groom's mimics and gestures.But the people in the background coincide with those in the foreground, which gets very distracted." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Out of balance composition makes this image interesting otherwise it would be very dull. And some smartphone cameras have advantages on higher ISO sensitivities than the other mobile devices to capture low light details like the Milky Way seen here. Interesting shot." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"This is an extremely beautiful photo that can be used as a desktop wallpaper, as well as a tourism promotion photo. The framing is very clear and simple, without any unnecessary elements." - Gang of One

"Automatically applied HDR effects can exaggerate the picture. There are differences between the foregrounds and backgrounds of the composition. But this pictorial frame has a sense of infinity." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"There is a disconnection between the top plan of the composition and the figure below. The sunset almost took all the attention of the scene and the importance of the figure has decreased." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"The composition here is perfect. The position of the sun, and the bicycle rider makes the photo stunningly beautiful. The blend of red and blue creates a unique atmosphere." - Gang of One

"Many photo subjects may be suitable for the "moment", but the most important task for the contestants is to determine the extraordinary images suitable for this theme. Beautiful portrait." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"It evokes the 19th century French impressionist paintings, but how relevant it is with the main theme?" - Ozan Bilgiseren

"It is a beautiful bloom, but if there wasn't any bit of light on the grass, looks like the tree is completely in space." - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Very simple but clear framing. The topic is clearly emphasized. The composition is simply simple. This requires a good technical background! The use of lighting is also very impressive, considering the phones capabilities." - Gang of One

"I believe this photo was taken in a professional studio, after a proper photo shoot the photographer probably used his mobile to take this image. All the composition and lighting is professionally well done." - Gang of One

"Beautiful eyes, oriental portrait. But what about the total black back ground. Besides the water mark of the photographer at the lower right edge of the frame?" - Ozan Bilgiseren

"Focused precisely on the ball with a fairly short depth of field, appropriate rotated lower camera angle and pretty exaggerated color, also you caught the ball in a perfect moment, job well done! Are you a professional photographer?" - Gang of One

"Another staged scene with the boy carrying food container but the work of the kid is not naturally related to the railway. Maybe it would be a more realistic view if there were workers doing railway maintenance in this frame." - Ozan Bilgiseren
