The surfer seemed annoyed when I raised my camera to eye level, alerting him just before I took the photo. He turned his head away as I captured the moment. I was walking along the shore when he crossed my path. Normally, I would take a photo from the hip, but since I was using a fast lens wide open at 75mm, I had to rely on the viewfinder for precise focus. With manual exposure and manual focus set, I took two frames in a span of about 10–15 seconds.
P.S. Taken from near Burleigh Heads. The image is mirror reversed.

The view from a poor apartment window directly contrasts with one of Ho Chi Minh City's iconic buildings, a symbol of wealth, Bitexco financial tower . The rusty fence separating them becomes a potent metaphor. It signifies the immense difficulty for those in the lower class to climb the social ladder and reach the seemingly unattainable heights of the wealthy.
Black and white imagery from the stunning sand dunes along Western Australia\'s Turquoise Coast. Each of the images in my series are a mixture of close-ups and wide angles, but each collection in the series highlights the incredible beauty of the dunes, whether that be in their shapes, lines, textures, tones or just simplicity.
I really love this image, a minimalistic tight close-in capture, with some incredible textures of two dunes separated by the striking white edge of the closer dune.

In today\'s world, the Kamuro live at home with their families and attend schools just as other children do. They only come over to the Tayū to attend lessons for cultural activities and when they have work to do. They come to Tayū through referrals from friends and relatives, neighbours and customers.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
