Such strong atmosphere here. The old walls, the rough textures, and the flour almost looking like little mountains — it all feels very raw. I like how the seller looks straight at us, calm but proud. You can really imagine the daily work behind this small shop, it feels close to real life. This picture has also a strong storytelling feel. The face of the man, the environment… A well deserved top 3 for a wonderful shoot. Congratulations and keep the superb work on !!

I love how simple this is but still so strong. You can almost feel the heat and the hard work behind this man’s walk. His “Happiness Ambassador” shirt makes it even more interesting — like life is tough but you keep smiling. The scene feels real, honest, no distractions, just daily life happening. Congratulations for the well deserved top 1. Keep the superb work on !!

Meet the judge

This one feels alive, like you’re right there. The soft light makes the beach look dreamy, but you still see the focus of the sellers working. I really like all the bottles standing in rows, it brings order in the chaos. Even the dog walking in the back makes the moment more true, more human. It isn’t just a scene of « I take my camera to have a beautiful picture » but it has something more. The camera didn’t only capture a simple photo but a moment of pure storytelling leaving room for imagination. Why the dog ? Where are they ?… An amazing picture that deserves a very good top 2 ! Congratulations and keep the superb work on !!

This photo really has emotion. The woman’s face, her hands, you can see all the years of hard work and maybe a bit of struggle too. The fruits around her and the sacks in the background make it even more authentic. It’s the kind of image that makes you stop and look longer. A well deserved top 4 ! Congratulations and keep the superb work on !!

The light here is really beautiful, it falls so nicely on the scene. The woman looks thoughtful, and the child sitting close by adds a soft, emotional touch. I like all the little details — the veggies, the baskets — it feels busy but calm at the same time, like a real market moment. Again a very strong storytelling picture. Well deserved top 5 ! Congratulations and keep the superb work on !!
