Weekly Competition #312 - VERTICAL Competition

Hello everybody! another contest is finished, it's time to sum up .. This time the group is small, so that the work I have even less. So, get to the results!

Vertigo by AxelLuther - as always perfect in composition and execution quality photo! and as always one of the main contenders to win! Looking ahead to say that the winner was very difficult to define!

Highrise by GaryJohn - very beautiful object for shooting! I shot it himself during a trip to Italy. But I think your picture is too straightforward. I think it was worth the work with the composition ..

Blue tits having a picnic by Jyrkira - Jyrkira-five?? very interesting picture, perhaps the best on the topic and composition. Too bad the picture quality was worse than the content ..

Upstanding Callboxes by Mudge - also an interesting picture! concept and composition are good. works well extraction of color. but I think the cost to eliminate the distortion of wide-angle optics. out for it in this case, a number of well-built phone boxes are falling apart.

The Overseer by Samdcoates - good work. perhaps ought to move the camera to the right.

Lightning by Aliengrove - caught the moment that you managed to catch! and the picture itself is great. but if the topic of this contest - that may be needed to cut the top half of the frame? Then the vertical lightning would have been more pronounced.

Chimney by Tyronet2000 - in an effort to show the texture of the stone, you are too close camera to the tower. In this perspective was lost. In This building a frame can clip it to the points of contact tower with the edges of the image.

Marilyn by CMW -a good shot, a good prospect, good vertical. -can only be the top face of the building parallel to the edge of the picture ..

Manna from above by Perspicador - funny picture! but I'd try to take a picture upright only penguins and arm to which they are drawn ..

London's changing skyline by Davidtrout - a good shot! gloomy sky very well with black and white.

The Only Way is Down...Vertically. by Jim-w - very expressive photo! and a good vertical. dangerous distraction from these guys!

From the depths of the earth by Noelcmn - could get a good shot! if not direct hard light from the flash ..

It's A Long Way Down by JAK - very good job! possible that the square in this case is not the solution resembling .. just want to add to the bottom ..

Cuba by Hiddendragon28 - oh, it's Cuba! I like the picture is just for that! but I had to post this beautiful building is not in the center of the frame. and a little bit spoil the impression overexsposed clouds..

May Garden by AndrewA - Good idea. And direct hit to the topic. But the technical performance in my opinion is not very high ..

Standing Tall with Honour by Johnriley - Another perfect shot! and he also made ​​me break my head over the allocation of seats on the podium.

as a result the podium looks like

1. Marilyn by CMW
2. Vertigo by AxelLuther
3. Sanding Tall with Honour by Johnriley

and highly recommended
