\"Hot!<\/p>\n

Winner: Hot! Hot! Hot!<\/em> by Michael Kidd<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘This was taken at a cultural show in the Red Cross Centre in Kandy on 27th July.\u00a0Hot weather, Hot Spices, Hot destination.’<\/p>\n

Tom Parker says:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Michael has done well with the composition, with the right exposure, he’s created a real atmosphere with this photo. You wonder what is this person doing? And why are they doing it? Which is crucial to any good photograph.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations Michael, a bottle of champagne is on its way to you along with \u00a3100 off your next holiday.<\/p>\n

We have three runners up who will all be receiving gift vouchers for their next holiday with us.<\/p>\n

\"coffee<\/p>\n

Runner Up: Coffee<\/em> by Terry Kavanagh<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘We\u2019d travelled down the Mekong by barge the night before and then transferred to a sampan for a visit to the market. As we wove our way in and out of the stalls, this man\u2019s floating cafe pulled up and he began serving coffee to the traders. It\u2019s about as far from Starbucks as you can get!’<\/p>\n

Tom Parker says:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s the expression of the subject that really makes this photo. You wonder who he is looking at. There are also so many different elements to the photo, what’s in the jug? What’s the man unpacking on the boat behind? It keeps you engaged in the image.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

\"Que\"<\/p>\n

Runner Up: Queue<\/em> by Rowley Cubitt<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘On one of our days in Sri Lanka, we were lucky enough to experience the festival Poya day (full moon). This is when people across the country provide food\u00a0to anyone who wanting it. In this photo, a selection of people wait at the very end of a very long queue to get some donated food. This is an aspect of Sri Lanka that sums up the friendly, generous nature that that country is renowned for.’<\/p>\n

Tom Parker says:<\/p>\n

There are lots of different characters in this picture and it’s full of colour. You ask yourself what are they waiting for? It draws you into the photo. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

\"DSC_0036<\/p>\n

Runner up: Rural scene<\/em> in Myanmar by Tim Fielder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tom Parker says:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This photo has good composition and I like the framing of the trees. The detail on the cart wheels is interesting and it’s good that the image\u00a0captures action.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
