Road trip

This is a stunning location and Samantha has been treated to some gorgeous dappled light coming in through the clouds. As she notes though, the sky is quite blown out, for future pictures where the contrast is so high it'd be worth shooting a bracket of exposures - some under exposed to preserve the highlight detail in the sky and another over exposed to bring out detail in the shadows - then merge them together in editing to get the perfect blend of tones. She clearly has a great eye for a picture, and apart from the clipped highlights it's a wonderful capture.

There's a cinematic quality to Enzo's image here, it's full of colourful vintage cars that make the shot scream out Cuba! My only slight criticism is that there appears to be a bit of camera-shake in the image, so it'd be worth increasing the ISO, or using a tripod, when shooting with a long telephoto lens in the future. Otherwise, it's a brilliant shot, full of colour and atmosphere.

Marco's timing in this shot is spot-on as he's captured a lovely moment where all of the women on the back of the truck are laughing and all smiles - it's a heart-warming and fun image. Well done for creating an eye-catching, central composition and strong eye-contact.

Ravi’s done a fantastic job at creating a different and fresh perspective of the much photographed colourful houses in Burano, just off the coast of Venice. We love the juxtaposition of the abstract reflection and the straight lines of the boat - nicely done!

Sandi has captured an amazing image here, getting a high perspective down onto the road and shooting towards the low setting sun for elongated shadows and extra drama. The composition of the shot is spot-on with the biker lined-up with the rule-of-thirds and the warm golden tones are sublime, making it our winner this month!
