Winner (Intermediate) Hidden Devata by Jessica Nitschke (24).
A well composed image. The use of the diagonal lines leads
the eye to the main figure, creating a strong focal point, and so
does the use of the light that gives change to the tonal range.
The image is sharp and the depth of field was well handled.

Winner (Intermediate) Old and New by Jessica Nitschke (24). A
typical image in the Juxtaposition genre. The old Dutch/Colonial
building shadowed by the new modern building. Making use of
the camera angle the photographer managed to create a strong
leading line taking the eye from the old to the new building and
then to the beautiful sky. The conversion to B&W was a great
idea. It works well in architecture. Good sharpness throughout.
