Competition - Theme 3 - Judge Paul Hendley

PDI - From Above – challenges photographers to capture the world from an elevated vantage point. Whether shot from a towering architectural landmark, a high-flying aircraft, a hovering drone, or simply by looking straight down at the ground from above your own head, this category is all about fresh perspectives.

Print - Shadows/Silhouettes - challenges photographers to use darkness as a dynamic compositional element. It focuses on stark, high-contrast imagery where the subject is defined by its dark outline or the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing form, mood, and negative space rather than fine details.
