Interior: Timothy Morris
Judges Comments: Both Judges were drawn to this image. The scaffolding in the interior works in this shot. Great to see people considering the feel and emotive merit of their images.

Detail: Nicolas Miltos
Judges Comments: The minimalist nature of the simplest elements make this image just divine. We acknowledge that some people may not get this choice but it is outstanding for it purest approach and the subtleties of form, light, shadow and highlight and the slightest sense of materiality. I just loved this shot.

People/crowds: Monika Pedzinski

Judges Comments: We both love how this photographer has made a resolved composition out of a little chaos. The anonymity is great. It perfectly expresses the feeling of queueing and the way people move around on MOH days with their program books.
