The Crossing by Shaadi Faris - Winner of Sony Photo Challenge first week 'Nature' | The winning shot The Crossing – Shaadi Faris After hours of filtering through the photo entries of the nature-themed challenge, The Crossing by Shaadi Faris was a photo I always came back to. You can almost hear the pounding of hoofs. And smell the dust kicked up in the stampede. The mix of perfect timing, composition and final black and white processing all come together to produce what I think is a powerful image. Prize is a NEX-5 camera from Sony |
Lonely Bird by Jacson Querubin - Sony Photo Challenge first week 'Nature' second place | Second place shot Lonely Bird – Jacson Querubin At first glance, this photo felt really simple, and graphic. A screen print almost. It’s only until you take a closer look, you realise how much detail has been held onto in the foreground. It really draws you in. The two-tone colouring works so well in this image. Had it been shot in black and white, or even full colour, would it have been as special? I think not. Prize is a NEX-3 camera from Sony |
Lonely Bird by Jacson Querubin - Sony Photo Challenge first week 'Nature' third place | Third place shot Beauty in the light, for Ania – Griveous 247 A lovely shot of a beautiful bird. The focus is great and the colours captured in this image are superb. It could have been the winning shot had the puffin been more off centre. Prize is a Cybershot camera from Sony |
