Congratulations on this picture, it is absolutely gorgeous. It's such a bold image which is well composed and so eye catching with just part of the manhole cover visible beneath the leaves. I love the whole colour palette with every colour complimenting the other. Well done with balancing the levels of the highlights and shadows. I could easily have this on my wall!

I love the lighting of this image, it's incredibly cinematic! The rim lighting on the band members contrasts really well with the neon signs and the reflections in the window and great use of the window frame to frame the image. It has great atmosphere going on. I like the way there is still detail in the shadow areas and the highlights haven't burnt out.

Congratulations with the timing of this image! It's a very dramatic picture with the sign and the kingfisher. The shutter speed was just right to capture the movement of the fish's tail which gives the picture the feeling of energy as the fish struggles in the bird's beak.

Such a great image. Firstly, one of my favourite colour combinations of blue and orange and lovely composition with the boy looking at the camera and off centre in the image. His piercing, inquisitive eyes really grab your attention. Nice framing with the Pepsi logos on either side.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Everywhere we look, words and letters surround us. Not on a walk through the fields usually, but everywhere else that there is a message to convey, a product to sell, a shop to entice you in, or a book on a shelf. Graffiti artists tell you things on walls, and signs tell us the name that’s been given to a street. Turning any words or letters you come across into an interesting image for sharing is the challenge laid down with this contest.
