This magnificent portfolio entry into our recent judged “Stain Glass Windows” contest saw Crowd member Bellon Gérard take home the gold. 🏆

Contest created and expertly judged by Gary Davies.

“This set, aided and abetted by some of the world’s finest stained glass, nails it with interesting compositions and the ‘just right’ rendition of window brightness. Stained glass is undoubtedly photogenic, but as it’s essentially strongly backlit, getting a correct exposure that preserves details without over-egging it and getting muddy highlights can be a challenge. Here the delicate balance is expertly executed.”

This wonderfully composed capture was taken by Crowd member gilou, and successfully secured the judged gold in our recent “Spectators” contest, created and judged by .werner70 🏆👏

“This image is a masterclass in visual storytelling and perfectly captures the essence of the brief. By focusing on the spectators rather than the event, the photographer has made the off-camera action completely tangible through emotion alone.

The raised hand behind the ear is the defining, poignant element of the photo. It tells a deep human story of focus, connection, and determination not to miss a single moment. Combined with excellent composition and a beautifully managed shallow depth of field that isolates the subject from the crowd, this is a deeply moving and unforgettable image. A very well-deserved first place.”

A gorgeous entry and well deserved judged win for Crowd member m.art.a in our recent “Pastel Colour Palette” contest, created and judged by 🏆 👏

“This image has the quiet presence of a painted still life. The colour palette is beautifully handled, and the light and shadow fall in a way that feels both natural and deliberate. What really elevates the composition are the two unexpected elements, the apple and the chair , small details that add character and a subtle narrative to the scene.”

A wonderful portfolio win today for Crowd member in recent expertly judged “Boring Buildings” contest, created and judged by Alex Poll. 🏆 👏

“Such a fantastic series here. All these images have such a strong and consistent aesthetic across them all. The stong sunlight in them really making the colours of the buildings pop and contrast wonderfully with the rich blue of the sky behind. The compositions feel deliberate and both give this intense graphic feel and an enigmatic intreague by only showing us parts of the buildings. A lovely set and a pleasure to look through. Well done.”

A gorgeous entry and well deserved expertly judged win for Crowd member Tonynorth in our recent “A Single Flower” contest, created and judged by Tracy Calder. 👏 🏆

“So much care has gone into creating this celebratory image of a crocus flower. The focus has been handled masterfully – the stamens are nice and sharp, while the petals fall out of focus beautifully. Spraying the flower with water has added sparkle, while the use of a card for the background has prevented anything from taking our eye away from the subject. The slight foreground blur was created by positioning two flowers close to the lens, which has worked wonderfully.”

A stunning portfolio entry from Crowd member .ro and a very well deserved win in our recent expertly judged “Landscapes with Buildings” contest. Created and judged by 🏆👏

“A worthy winner. What sets this portfolio apart is restraint — the buildings never shout, they sit quietly within the landscape and give the eye somewhere to rest. The mist and cloud inversions are beautifully handled, and there’s real consistency in the warm, soft palette running through all six frames. The mix of elevated and aerial viewpoints keeps things varied without breaking cohesion. For me, the church rising from the cloud inversion is the standout — properly atmospheric and patiently timed. Top work.”

This stunningly picturesque capture from Crowd member Annie Molinet was taken in Crystal Mill, Colorado 🇺🇸 and secured the number one judged spot in our recent “Abandoned Mines and Mining Towns” contest. Created and judged by Vievelvy. 🏆

A very well deserved win. 💯

“This photo is bought to life by the vivid autumn colours and dramatic mountain scenery. It’s a striking contrast between nature and industry. The rustic wooden mill anchors the composition beautifully while the bright sky and water add depth and atmosphere. The strong detail, rich tones and excellent framing make this such a compelling image.
I enjoyed all of your entires, Thanks you.”

This action-packed capture from Crowd member Edwardolive secured a well deserved expertly judged first place today in our recent “Live music” contest. Created and judged by Paul John Bayfield. 👏🏆

Absolutely love it! 🤘

“Love this frame. it really pulls us in to the performance, right on stage, in fact!
That wide angle choice has really amplified the sense of depth and pulls us in to the energy of the performance. The image feels lived rather than observed through that connection. Nice and intimate - like we are at the gig itself!
Great job.”

- Paul John Bayfield
