Traces, Prints or Impressions Left on a Surface

I really enjoyed the subtle comedy element of this shot, which leaves the viewer to question what was actually going on here to cause the masses to gather around the outside of the pen area with just one creature straying to the inside. Great use of the monochrome, as it keeps everything simple with good contrasts, allowing the multiple prints to be well seen. Congratulations on your winning image.

A great image, looking down on a road crossing area. I love the composition and framing, with the paintwork neatly positioned, and for me just the right amount of the scene included. Conversion to black and white allows the darker tracks to stand out well. Congratulations on your second place finish.

Fantastic composition and viewpoint, looking directly down onto a section of a round pool with the all-important watery prints leading away across the wooden floor. I love the contrast of colours between the browns of the pool surround and the bright blue of the water. Great work, well done on your top ten placing.

A mass of prints on the rich golden sand makes for a stunning image. The inclusion of the two figures really makes the shot, as it adds both a focal point and some life, and by the placement and stance of the two people gives an indication of the strenuous challenge of trecking across the deep and hilly sand. The perspective of the shot works well, with the larger footprints prominent in the foreground. Congratulations on your third place finish.

What a great image, with an army of ducks included in the shot with their prints. There is no obvious focal point, but it is fun to let the eye wander to explore the scene. Conversion to black and white works well, with good contrasts to emphasise the subject. Great image, well done on your top ten placing.
