There’s a sculptural quality
to this clever and original still
life, and the repetition of the
teardrop shapes gives it a
pleasing rhythm.11 Kevin Etheridge

At fi rst we thought these
were Japanese characters,
before realising they were
pieces of wire coming out
of a warehouse wall!6 TonyCooperUK25pts

Sony A99, 16-35mm at 16mm,
1/60sec at f/4, ISO 100
A much-photographed scene, but this
image works thanks to the juxtaposition
of the foreground elements with the
mountain range at the rear.

Sony A6000, 18-105mm at 57mm,
1/125sec at f/8, ISO 100
A beautifully composed scene with
every straight line, shadow and curve
in exactly the right place. An object
lesson in precision framing.
