Nominated by
deolandicho. He said : "I nominate this fantastic image by jtnelso not just because of it's monochromatic appeal, striking images but because it made my hair stand up the moment I saw it. Truly an awe-inspiring, spectacular moment frozen in time. Kudos to the photographer!"
#2

Nominated by
Chip. She said: "Anyway, I chose this because I love B&W and it also shows that smoking has been around for a long time

May I also add a nice and sharp portrait."
#3

Nominated by
Dustin. He said : "There's just such a cinematic quality to this shot. I love the colors and everything that is happening in this scene. I generally don't think firework shots are thrilling, but this isn't just a shot of a firework, it's just one of many elements that make this such a rich picture."
#4
Deo's second nomination. He said : "The blurred effect is for me, a better way to present a subject that has probably been shot a million times. Plus the presentation of minimal colors adds to the over-all clean look of the image. Technique, color and framing are spot on."
