winner

A really lovely shot and and a well deserved winner. Really atmospheric - the lighting and haze work perfectly with the thoughtful pose. It would make a great feature picture for an article on Mr Sadeer in a weekend magazine.

There were a lot of images entered in this competition of Antelope Canyon. It is a stunning location but this image was the only one that looked up and added a touch of blue which really makes the colours pop. Nice to see a different angle (personally I would have liked to have seen what it looked like to have the blue running unbroken across the image but that's just me). I hope you've printed this really big and have proudly hung it on a wall.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** We’re keeping it dialled into one colour for this contest, and it’s orange! Maybe you’ve had some still life fun with the eponymous fruit; you hung out at Dutch Corner when the Tour de France peloton was tackling Alpe d’Huez; or you’ve got garden borders dripping with Californian poppies. Whatever you’ve been shooting, we can’t wait to see the vibrant carpet of orange images brought together by this, one of our favourite contest themes.

This image works brilliantly. It tells a complete story. The evening sunshine, the holiday beach, the half dressed tourist passed out and then the can of beer in the corner just completes the photo. Reminds me of Martin Parr's work. Nicely spotted and well composed - great picture well done.
