Winner 3: ‘damo2011’

Judges comments: “Creating a technically good photo of a moving model or musician is one thing, but also to capture the genuine expression, the heart of the moment is another. Damo2011’s great expsoure, depth of field and clear focus under these conditions was exceptional, and clearly has a good eye for framing a shot.”
