Judge’s comment: Only when a photographer pushes the conventional boundaries can we see scenes that seem to disappear, unusual or difficult to see. – Chen Xiaobo, 9th Vice President of China Photographers Association
Judge’s comment: The image asks more questions than it answers, stimulating the viewer’s imagination. Will the plane land safely or crash? Where is it heading? Who is the silhouetted man in the foreground? This photo gives the impression of an unfolding story and movement that invites the viewer to fill in the gaps. – Australian portrait photographer, Jessica Hromas
Judge’s comment: In addition to the outside, it is even more important to capture the inside of the person, their character or their feelings at that moment. There are many paintings, photos and videos of eagles, but I will surely always remember this one – it captures the true soul of the eagle. Beneath his thick feathers are his sharp, frightening eyes. – Chinese fashion photographer Pei Tongtong
