After some deliberation I settled on this as my winning image. I love everything about it - from the graininess, the apparent un-posed nature of the 3 guys in the shot, to the stark overall contrast between the light and dark areas - and all topped off with the hats they're wearing, which is the stand-out element for me. Great - and congratulations on your winning entry.
I love the overall documentary feel to this shot, and the refreshing apparent lack of too much - if any - post-processing....something others would do well to consider in my opinion. Here we have what appears to be a lifetime together, and all summed up in one fleeting moment. Another great opportunity grabbed by both hands. Well done, and many thanks for your entry.
What an amusing and well-timed shot. Like most I suspect, I did a double take wondering if the gentleman concerned is actually wearing any trousers or not...! I also find it faintly amusing with regards the expressions being worn by others in the shot....are they doing their best to ignore proceedings I wonder? Well done, and my thanks for your entry.
We have all, at some time or another, posed for such shots whilst out drinking or partying. There were a good number of these type of shots entered into this competition - but what makes this one stand out of course is the narrow depth of field, and therefore the focus on the hand at the forefront. I like it and my thanks for your entry.
