PLACE WINNER

Photographer: Christoph Schaarschmidt

Our comment: At first glance it is difficult to tell if this is a landscape shot or a

view of algae through a microscope. The flattened perspective effectively removes

context and creates a truly stunning abstract scene. The lighting, colour contrast

and composition are perfectly balanced to produce an image that is both beautiful

and visually exciting in equal measure. The colour provides a wintry feel without

being oversaturated. The brightness gradient from top to bottom is very satisfying.
