Certainly a classic subject when visiting India. These men are certainly photogenic. You have captured a more interesting portrait than many travel photographers do with this image. I love the birds flying around him and the light is just lovely. Great timing to capture one photo where there were none of the birds too close to him.

Make sure you also check out our two other New Joiners contests - ‘Animals’ and ‘Landscapes’.
You've captured this street portrait so well. I love your composition, where you have placed your subject in the frame and how well you've made use of the dark doorway she is sitting in front of. The isolated little bit of contrasting color of the book cover adds a nice touch to an otherwise virtually colorless photo.
You have captured the sense of awe she must be feeling as she is gazing up at this beautiful tree. It's a nicely balanced image that speaks for itself. I love that the light shining through the branches is flaring in her hair. I think it could have been a stronger photo if there were no other people in the frame (I'm not sure though if that would have been possible!)
You've captured the moment and the atmosphere so well. The light is great and produces contrast that adds to the overall feeling in this photo. You've timed it well to capture the fist pumps and signs being held high. The girls calm expression adds to the contrasts in the image. Good choice to convert it to black and white as it also adds to the feeling.
You've captured the action and the feeling so well in this photograph. I like your composition to show what the blacksmith is working with and the large bellows. Your timing is great as you have captured the flame and the sparks at the peak. The balance of light on the man from the fire and from behind him is very satisfying. Well done!
This is a wonderful action photo and you've captured the moment and the mood so well. I am sure this was a very challenging photo to capture so the birds and the man looked good together. When you have no control and the action is so unpredictable it's very difficult. Well done and a nice story you have to go this this photo too.
Great action photo of one of the all time best action figures in rock music. You've timed it well and also composed it well. I know how challenging concert photography is, that you never seem to be in the right place at the right moment, but here you have captured it well. I like that you have converted this picture to black and white.

This is really a classic beach image. I can imagine standing there with them sharing the observations about the swells as they come rolling in. I love your composition. Keeping it nice and simple and having the three men stand out clearly from the background, but not having the background be too blurred. I hope you got an email address or some form of contact so you can send them this photo!
Nicely composed landscape. The light and shadow on the hills is wonderful and it's great that your exposure is such that there is detail in the clouds. Her pink top is a nice splash of warmth in this cold image! I think your composition could have been a bit better if you had positioned her so you could not see the post as it's a bit distracting.
I feel so cold looking at this photo. You have captured the feeling of the bleak weather so well. I like that it is almost black and white except for the leaves that are on the ground. The variety of textures in your photo adds to its interest. I think your timing could have been a little better if you'd taken it when the person was not so close to the tree. If the umbrella was not intersecting with the tree I think if would have been stronger.
This is such a nice peaceful photo. I love the colors and tones in the image as they add to the over all restful feeling you have captured. The contrast of the light against the trees and also the contrast of the jagged tree branches and the straight lines of the building and of the path add to making this a nice composition.
