Nightlife

This is a very inventive way of showing life at night in a disco/dancehall where the photographer has used figures across the whole frame of the photograph - both silhouetted and lit. The effect is a surreal montage of figures in a colourful landscape of social interaction, dotted with lovely little pools of green, purple, yellow and blue light. A very worthy winner! congratulations.

An original photograph where the photographer has thought in a different way in order to say something about a night out. Has he/she stumbled accross somebody who's just had too much to drink and wants to sleep it off right then and there?.. or is it a friend who has decided to be the actor in a conceptual scene?.. no matter; this is an intriguing, beguiling image where the viewer can make their mind up as to what's going on. The horizontal figure is nicely positioned - a long lens used from low on the ground, with a shallow depth of field, renderring the urban night surroundings into a soft-focus and evocative backdrop; the light hitting the tarmac by his feet helping to make this scene so memorable. Well done!.

What a vivid scene! Rich, sharp colourful and a visual feast as you look down at the whole fairground below. You even have the setting in which this all takes place as you see the tall, ghostly-lit trees surrounding the human activity, as well as the mist/smoke floating above the people. I love the way the photographer has composed this image with the two girls - bottom centre - looking down with us, onto this colourful scene. The kind of image you can stare at for several minutes because there is so much to it. A brilliantly taken photograph. Congratulations!
