Photographs that exude energy are incredible for audiences to get excited over, and you have achieved this with your landscape. This has such a warm tone both due to the colour grading and location, well done. Your framing is very successful, especially the use of negative space to bring more attention to your subjects.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** We’re turning the camera on the image makers themselves, and looking at how others see us when we’re busy with our cameras to our eyes, squatting down, craning our necks, with elbows and legs akimbo. It might be a self-portrait with camera in hand, an image you took of a favourite shooting buddy, or maybe you just stumbled across Joel Meyerowitz plying his trade on a New York sidewalk and turned the tables on him!

This is a fascinating capture for both narrative and location. With the distant approach, this has real potential to exist in the realms of a social documentary context. Colour grading is great and with the possible use of flash lighting too, you have achieved great detail throughout.

I enjoyed reading your entry about the story behind this image, it's always a difficult position as a photographer to sympathise with a subject and question ethics. However, this is a respected capture of the chaotic scene here and a real mix of fan cameras to professional. Well done!
