INSPIRATIONS
(^02) NEW DAY BY NGUYEN TAN TUAN
This wonderful silhouette image from
Nguyen is a clear winner in this month’s
Reflection contest. We loved it because
of the sublime sunset colours in both
the sky and shimmering reflection in the
water. The poses from the fisherman are
also fantastic and give the image a strong
focal point. Nguyen has cleverly framed
his photograph with the fishermen in the
middle of the frame and the sun behind the
person on the left, preventing the sun from
causing a bright ‘hot spot’ in the picture.
It’s a fantastic travel shot and one worthy
of a place in this month’s competition.
Well done!

(^03) FALL REFLECTIONS BY TODD MERICA
This lovely portrait from Todd stood out
as one of our favourites submitted this
issue. It’s packed with a vibrant autumnal
colour palette and minimalist vibe and we
love how he used the reflection in the lake
to provide an ethereal background that
really helps the model stand out. He’s got
the angle just right to show the reflection
of the model’s face too, though we can’t
help wonder if the image would work even
better if rotated 90º to the right.
