Below are the winners in the Open Subject category with the judges' comments.
Winner PDI – Open (Master): Dark Horse 2 by Theo Potgieter (26). Extremely effective use of light to
create a light silhouette. Even though it disappears at the bottom, you know exactly what you are seeing,
namely a horse in flight, without needing all the detail. The light in the mane and tail adds drama.
Winner PDI – Open (Advanced): Beacon Isle by Marianna Meyer (25). This image gives new meaning to
the concept of “blue hour”. The moody image has almost a surrealistic feel to it with the white hotel in the
middle. The lovely layers and curves in the sea and the surfer leading your eye into the picture, adds interest.
Just a suggestion: with all elements on the left, you could crop a bit on the right to make it more balanced.
