New Joiners - People #439

What a beautifully observed vignette of life. The inclusion of more of the street was inspired and helps create context and a sense of place. The black-and-white conversion has been handled well. This is a fabulous shot from an iPhone that once again just proves that the best camera is the one that's with you!

The elements of the composition have been harmoniously arranged and the image exudes a cool contemporary vibe. The considered positioning of the objects suggests a bigger narrative which is made evident and all the more poignant after reading the image title and caption. This must have been a difficult project to work on. Kudus to you and peace to you and your family.

An excellent and challenging image that presents a thought-provoking springboard for further thought, especially when also contemplating the image's title, Women in Power. The intensity of colour and hard, dramatic lighting add tension and a sense of narrative. Good work.

The low angle of view is inspired and helps create a powerful and dynamic portrait packed with energy. The bold and dynamic angles of the building and rails, the high contrast and the vibrant colour palette add to the story. Good work.

I love the simplicity of this compsotion. The three characters with their stoic expressions and traditional attire look wonderful. Their positioning in the frame and stark desert location gives the image a cool and restrained vibe. Great work, keep it up!

There is a lovely, slightly mischievous, twinkle in the subject's expression that has been nicely captured,. The lovely spots of lens flare (which lots of conventional photographers try to avoid) totally adds to the vibe and really makes the shot sing - just proving that it's good to challenge conventions.

There is a wonderful painterly quality to this engaging portrait. The subtle lighting, the delicate handling of the tones and the sublime colour pallet work harmoniously. However, it is the connection with the subject that makes the image shine. Good work, keep it up.

There, is a haunting, mysterious and poetic energy in this bold and thought-provoking image. The title, Fade Away, adds to the mysterious narrative along with the colour pallet, play of light and shadow and motion blur. Nicely done, keep up the good work.

A bold and confident approach that works extremely well. The formal, near-symmetric composition, gives strength to the composition. The black-and-white conversion has been skillfully handled revealing a good range of tones. I particularly like the wonderful shapes the hockey gear makes, almost like an abstract sculpture.

I love the sense of travel in this image. The overall frame and the frames within the frame through the windows are all packed with myriad mini-narratives that make for a really engaging image. The handling of the back and white tones works well too.

A fun and delightful study. You can just feel the joy oozing out of the frame. The intensity of the colours and the high contrast pack a powerful punch. The refractions and reflections made by the water are awesome and create a lovely context.

Excellent use of foliage to create a frame and context for the subject. The connection with the subject is good and helps create an engaging portrait. The lighting, especially on the subject's face had been nicely controlled and handled. Good work!

A good shot, that really captures a sense of 'journey'. The blurring of the background creates a wonderful sense of motion while the quiet, contemplative gaze of the subject looking out of the window speaks to the romance of travel. Good work.

Wow, there is a real intensity to this image. naturally the bright, vibrant and insanely intense colour plays a central role in this. The playful ensemble is a delight too with the citrus fruit being echoed throughout the tableaux. Good work.

A simple and effective approach that packs attitude. The position of the subject in the centre of the frame and the deadpan expression anchor the image with a cool contemporary vibe. The subtle colour palette works a treat and completes the look. Good work!
