It's important to be looking at every detail. This was a tough one to find and I just love it.

A beautifully composed image, catching a lovely gesture. The central image with the flowers is framed by wallpaper-like patterns is really nice. The flowers are framed beautifully against the white dress and the woman's hand on the girl's arm really complete this image. How can you make a better creative picture from a detail? The composition of colours mixed with black and white, different forms and the connection to emotions shows that the photographer made a great job. The feeling for interaction between forms and colours is enviable.

Funny details. Almost “can we get this done before the pubs close†moment.

It is not a special picture, of course. We have seen this quite often before. However, the photographer has recognized all-important elements and has found their way to make a harmonious photo. It is simple, but graphically perfect. The colours and light are wonderful and makes the photo unique.

I like the composition on these gift packages but it's probably the thin shaft of warm light falling on the bottom one that draws me in, I'm wondering if it's AL or flashed.

I like this picture because it is arranged in layers and complex. There are many important details and information in it. Wonderful. There is just a little criticism from my side as there is a big hole in the middle of the picture. I wish I could see more the face of the woman. Maybe it would be helpful to find a focal point in the picture.

Again simple and amazing colors. This is a piece of art on it's own.

A tiny detail has a big appearance! I am sure most of the guests have not seen these funny nails. Respect! Clear forms, warm light and a great perspective make the picture voluminous.

Perfect Preparation.

11th Place: Kenneth Leong from Singapore, SingaporeJudges Comments
There is such great contrast in this with the ancient henna tattoos juxtaposed with the camera. The subject of the camera is just out of focus enough to let you linger on the camera and the tattoo. Very nicely done.

I love the light and I love the texture of the sand and the dress material another picture that lends some informality with the intricacy of the lace. Good observation.

A very stark, simple photograph really well composed with a great eye toward composition.

I really like this picture as an emotional observation, I think it would have placed a lot higher in another category away from ‘detail' but I love the feel of it and couldn't leave it out of the placing
