Winner: GordonFawley “This was a grab shot – the bus came up quickly and the reflectionwas exactly as I wanted it. I’d seen several other nice reflections in buses earlier in the evening, but missed all the opportunities! The guy sitting at the top of the bus workedwell for me and finished the image off nicely.” Judge’s comment: “Somany things fell right in Gordon’s tightly composed picture that it stood out. The colours, the urban reflections and finished off, as Gordon says, by the chapwith his feet up.”

Winner: BobZwolinksy “I went withMick Valentine andMike Spurway fromWest Wickham Photographic Society to Brick Lane with the specific objective of getting images for the On the Street category. “On arrival we split up to avoid getting the same shots. I happened to be in the right place at the right time and ready. The young lady was performing for her partner to take pictures. My camera was in programmode, which is my default option. I would have loved to have had the chance to change themode but it all happened so fast that in doing so I would havemissed the opportunity. I showed her the images I had taken, gave her my email and have since sent her the best three images.” Judge’s comment: “Street art featured inmany entries and there were some fine shots among them. Bob’s image stood out though for its handstand-ing skateboarder that lifts his shot to a different level.”
Technique: Shot with a 45mm lens, 1/80sec at f/5.6 and ISO 100.
