Our comment: We’re always looking for unconventional framing for

the contest, and this image certainly fits the bill. The top-down POV

is abstract yet familiar, showing off the luminous summer colour to

great effect. The image falls back on the essentials of photography –

colour and detail – and features wonderful directional illumination. A

well-considered and effective landscape composition!

Our comment: You can just hear the cicadas when looking at this image!

The picture has a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere that stimulates all of the

senses. While exploring the frame you can smell the evening air and feel the

warm breeze, creating a strong sense of being in the scene – the indicator

of any successful photograph. The exposure has been handled expertly –

the balance of tones is spot-on. A lovely shot – very well done!
