Judge’s Special Award

Photo
Title :
"A girl hanging clothes"
Photographer :
Xiong Mengxiong
Model Used :
GR DIGITAL III
Comment :
It was Sunday morning when I woke up I saw my girlfriend just finished laundry hanging them on the curtain. The morning sunshine radiated through the window and made this moment peaceful and beautiful.

Jurors’ Comment

It's probably an overstatment, but there is pleasure similar to that of viewing a Vermeer painting in the fact of finding in this photo the beauty in the midst of work falls into the category of the everyday or the odd job. I do not know how much the photo may have been adjusted, but the balance of light and shadow and the shot layout is fantastic.(Yukio Uchida)

"Qiu La Tong Light"
Photographer :
Wu Junhua

Caplio GX8
Comment :
The morning sun pours into the room, lighting up the hearth. (Location: Near Qiunatong, Yunnan, China)

Jurors’ Comment

This is a work that leaves the viewer very uneasy. What is on the other side of the window? Who is that person speaking with? There ought to be a reason for this. . The burning fire expresses both the presence and the absence of its tender. An "incident" has definitely been photographed here.(Kisei Kobayashi)
