Well i am not going to single out photos but i think that some shouldn't of won. Some ofthe shots taken could of been taken by anyone in my eyes, but it was up to the judges.
Well in my eyes anyway i don't really agree with any of the winner's even the 18+ aswell, as the title is 'PHOTGRAPHER of the year' not PHOTO. The judges should choose a whole portfolio not single photos so you can see the consistency of the photos, instead of the odd one coming out good. I am sure the winners had a great portfolio anyway but it would just mean that the results will be more accurate. Sorry for being such a moaning git, but some of the highly commended and runners up (ie. 2nd and 3rd) are the same photographers they should really show other photographers not the same ones all the time.
Sorry if i wrote too much, but you did ask.
