1. Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2008 winner-Tan Choon Wee, Fun Bathing

The photographer has managed to capture the movement of the children and water beautifully and clearly. The natural lighting also created a good contrast between the background (waterfall) and foreground (children) which brings out the focus on the children. Moreover, the joyous mood derived from the composition and colour is stunning to the audience.

2. The 6th annual Smithsonian magazine Photo Contest-Johan Esing

3.I absolutely love the quiet, peaceful and laid back mood presented in this photograph. The lighting and colours are mesmerising. And the photographer has managed to capture what appears to be two entirely separate scenes in one shot.
