Rainy Streets at Night

Congratulations on first place! This is a really powerful image. The silhouette of the church lends to a dark and mysterious mood, and the the lamp shining its bright light is a great focal point. The fog, as well as the texture of the light reflection on the wet pavement show the moody, rainy weather. The black and white makes the photo even more dramatic. Outstanding job!

Congratulations on second place! This image is so interesting to take a closer look at because of its details and vibrant colors. I love the reflection of the light trails and building on the wet road. Amazing creative work here.

Congratulations on third place! I love how you captured a wide array of colors, and I especially like their wonderful reflection on the cobblestone. You managed to capture the dreaminess of Paris at night, making me want to visit and explore it myself! Wonderful job.

Congratulations on fifth place! I like how most of the color is on the Christmas tree and its reflection, yet the rest of the image is mostly monochrome which gives it a dramatic feel. The composition is very interesting with many focal points including the archway on the right and bright lamp on the left. I really love this photo; awesome job!

Congratulations on fourth place! This black and white image really stood out to me because of its simplicity with interesting details. I love how you framed the composition so that the scooter doesn't block the alleyway and the reflection on the wet road.
