Religious Ceremonies and Their Celebration

Such a beautiful quiet reflective moment - the elevated view capturing the sunlight cutting across the young women and lighting the whole scene so effectively. Excellent exposure with fine detail.

Love the scale of this image - the wide angle lens working really well to capture this amazing moment. Great composition too.

Lots of drama in this image - great composition and use of natural light. The super wide angle lens and close up position of the photographer has been used to great effect.

A real architectural gem with this quiet observation. Beautifully detailed with great use of daylight and wide angle lens with no distortion. Technically excellent.

Great capture - a really beautiful observation and composition. The colours are working really well and the use of the natural light is fantastic. Stopping the lens down to F9.5 has captured all the detail superbly. Great shot!

Great image captured - a fantastic moment stopped revealing all the drama and faith of a Baptist church service. I love the energy this picture conveys and the colours too - fantastic work.

Great composition and use of colour working really well in this shot. Love the orange against the blue sky - the wide angle capturing the faces and expressions so well. Excellent capture!

Beautiful composition from what looks like a medieval scene from long ago. The women's expression beautifully lit by candles - excellent use of a long lens and wide aperture keeping all the focus on the subject. The subtle colour pallet working really well here too.

Love the monochromatic feel of this image despite being shot in colour. The slightly elevated view point is working really well here capturing all the drama. Beautifully exposed, the light catching the back of the black veils is fantastic. Great shot!

I really love this image - such a standout shot and worthy winner. So much drama in this monochromatic shot - we glimpse a women's expression beneath her veil with just enough light to capture her closed eyes. Great work!
