Amanda Kelso; He Stands Tall. He Stands Strong; Mount Ruapehu is a very sacred and spiritual place to not only the people of Ngati Rangi but a lot of the Maori descendants of New Zealand. I have always had an understanding of this, but have never encounter a powerful awakening as such.
Ryan Anderson; Late night blur; While preparing for a birthday party, fog thicker than I had ever seen rolled through. So i ditched the party in time to capture it before it left.
Ryan Anderson; You are not alone.; I wanted to keep the focus on just the subject without having just a generic crowd shot so I dashed ahead of the march to frame them between two posts. As with the other submitted images, I prefer to centre the focal point, or keep it within the centre third.
