Wow, this wonderful image is packed with atmosphere. Naturally, the mist adds to the mood and creates a beautiful, mysterious sense of space and depth. The jogger adds a perfect focal point and human interest, while the dynamic use of lines draws the viewer into the composition.

What a joyful portrait that simply oozes floral delights and happiness. The studio lighting has been skillfully controlled and artfully released to a high standard. But most of all, it's the lovely use of flowers and the expression of the subject that makes this image shine.

Clever! Great use of reflections and symmetry to make an engaging image. The vertical panorama suits the subject well and utilises lines to draw the viewer into the image. This is nicely seen and artfully captured. Well done, good work.

What a brilliantly creative portrait. The use of a slow shutter speed to create a heart shape through arm movements and flashlights is inspired. The heart-shaped light is perfectly balanced with the lovely ambient twiligh, making an image that oozes with a cool vibe.

I love this thought-provoking image, which is loaded with narrative and a commentary on the dating scene. The 'stage' has been well considered, the props are perfectly sourced, and the lighting skillfully controlled. All in all, a cracking image. Good work. Kudos!

A crisp, clean and well-executed photograph. The clever use of light and restrained colour palette gives the picture a timeless vibe. The angle of view, taken from a low-down perspective, looking upwards, helps create a strong and dynamic composition. Kudos!

This bold and confident approach works very well, with the sliver of face with the piercing blue eye emerging out of the darkness. The creative approach adds layers of ambiguous meaning, making the image engaging and thought-provoking. Good work, keep it up!

Clever use of a shallow depth of field (f/1.2) to blur the foliage in the foreground. This helps create a dream-like frame within a frame, adding depth, context and nuance. The engaging connection with the subject adds to the image's strength.

Dramatic and atmospheric use of lighting has helped create a mysterious and intriguing tableau loaded with narrative implications. The abandoned building proves the ideal location for the story to unravel along with a clever use of space and composition in the framing

The black and white silhouette is sublime and showcases the simple gesture of the wave more eloquently than if the subject had been cast in light. The gritty, grainy mono treatment has been skillfully controlled and adds to the story.

Firstly, the lovely use of light creates a wonderful sense of depth, colour and vibrant summer vibes. The protagonist, concentrating on their studies, adds to the story and makes a more engaging portrait. This is a great image, well done.

This is a well-executed portrait. It feels like there is a strong connection with the subject through the engaging eye contact. While I'm sure the desert colour palette must have been seductive and tempting, the black and white conversion works very well, creating a gritty authenticity.

Brilliant perspective on this intriguing tribe. The unusual viewpoint from getting down low, and looking up really works well, emphasising the sense of height that these magnificent stilts have. The black and white conversion and film-eque border work well too.

I love the natural energy in this bold and confident composition. Daring to frame with the subject half out of the frame was inspired and daring and works well. The colour palette was sublime too and speaks eloquently to the portrait's vibe.

Wow, the cunning and clever use of a slowish shutter speed, 1/20 sec, has captured a wonderful sense of movement and motion blur that exudes energy and life. The decisive moment artfully captures swirls of heads, expressions of joy and the beating of hands on drums!
