In Cuyonon terms, Bag’o nga Simula simply means that of a new start. the process of how the cloth has to be extracted from the tree is somehow reflective of my journey as an artist-beautiful and strong but a failure for most of the times. its image a mirror for me of a renewed purpose followed by a revelation of a much more efficient material. a brand new self and a stronger one.
Fortunately, I was able to capture several meteors around the galaxy core despite the light pollution emanating from Bais City in the background.

A black and white photo that captures the beauty of Mayon Volcano, known for its perfect conical shape. A plume of smoke subtly escapes from its peak, a reminder of its active nature. The image's composition draws the eye from the dramatic lines and shadows of the side of the empty road to the majestic silhouette of the volcano, standing tall against the sky. This emphasizes the striking contrasts and serene yet powerful presense of Mayon Volcano.
This image encapsulates the essence of industrial progress, where steel, concrete, and sky converge in a dynamic urban landscape under constant transformation.

– 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.
