BEST OF THEME

Chosen by Michael Holland

“What’s Going On?”

Michael Holland has chosen Harriet Amiet-Burström’s “What’s Going On?” because of these qualities: “Bold - the green grass predominates. Humourous - the cow’s expression is perfectly captured, and would never fail to raise a smile. Framing - simple but brave, with the cow in the bottom left. And Simplicity - a great capture of a scene we are all familiar with but rarely capture, the simplicity is the art in this case.”

BEST OF THEME

Chosen by Sheryl Rosedoff Bergman

“Tempest in a Tea Cup”

“While everyone's photos were perfect examples of the letter "T", Karen’s stood out because of the "T" description with an actual "T" subject. When deciding the subject two weeks ago, I didn't realize how hard it would be to pick a BOT as everyone photographed, quite nicely, a "T" subject, so it came down to the creativity of the title as well.” - Sheryl Rosedoff Bergman
