Guest Judge · Verdict · Street, October 12

“What surprised me about @rui_marques's shot was the restraint — no dramatic tilt, no exaggerated shadow. The shadow does the work, the cyclist stays small, and the cobblestone does the talking. That's a harder picture to make than it looks, and the crowd was right to crown it.”
