It is interesting to see what type of imagery under 25s may submit that could be different to that of their elder peers. So that – in part – influenced my choices. Here, the direct, confrontative portrait shows a confident young person, but the reflecting dark glasses make it a little unnerving and mysterious. The blue headdress and costume do not seem to fit. Is this a young tourist, or a local inhabitant about to mount a camel? Like most good photos it asks more questions than it gives answers.

Anonymous young people feature in this image too. Although it may appear a traditional and familiar seascape - golden hour sunset, reflections in the wet sand, and silhouettes, you know the sort thing – but it is done in an exemplary manner. The shapes of the dark clouds are also an interesting counterpoint to the figures on the beach.
