1st Place: Carl Bower from Colorado, United States

The contrasting expressions and body language are wonderful. The black and white allows us to focus on the dueling moments. And it's always great to see a vertical in the mix.

2nd Place: Dominique Cabrelli from Paris, France

Spontaneity and humor work to make this image a strong one.

3rd Place: David Hartlage from Indiana, United States

A pensive child dressed like an adult among adults; the hands telling different stories about the subjects whose heads were interestingly cropped by the photographer. A great and enigmatic image prompting questions and interest.

4th Place: David Murray from Georgia, United States

Like a great European movie, you know something dramatic may soon happen but you don’t know how it will end.

5th Place: Tina Wright from Arizona, United States

Boredom at its best.

6th Place: Gene Kosoy from Northern California, United States

What grace and harmony. A great look. The photographer captured the children in a really sophisticated way.

7th Place: Tom Paice from Bristol, England

Solid moment. Technically this was not an easy photograph to make, but the photographer handled it well.

8th Place: Ian Bursill from Leicestershire, England

Terrific storytelling image. I can tell the photographer was prepared for anything. They responded quickly and executed it beautifully.

9th Place: Clark Reid from North Holland, Netherlands

A style shot with staying power.

10th Place: Stephanie Secrest from Northern California, United States

A very pretty photo of the young girl dancing. Nice play with the lights.
