1st Ian Webb, Swansea 46pts
Canon EOS 5D MarkII, 24-105mm, 1/2000sec at f/5.6, ISO 100
Cleaner
Judges say: ‘We knew that People at Work would present people with a challenge, but we didn’t anticipate just how strong some of these entries would be. Ian’s monochrome shot of a cleaner working away on a building in Beijing, China, really stood out among the crowd. His exposure has rendered the cleaner in silhouette, yet also retained detail in the building. This is a real winner of a shot.’
2nd Dusica Paripovic, Bosnia and Herzegovina 45pts
Nikon D5000, 50mm, 1/160sec at f/14, ISO 100
The Masseur
Judges say: ‘Not only is Dusica’s shot a great interpretation of the brief, but it is also just unusual enough to make you stop and consider what you’re seeing. It’s a beautifully lit image and one that makes a very subtle use of post-production toning. As soon as we saw this photograph we knew it was top 3 material.’
3rd Chrissy Weller, London 44pts
Nikon D3100, 50mm, 1/80sec at f/4.5, ISO 400
Policewoman at Margaret Thatcher’s Funeral
Judges say: ‘This was another image that jumped out at us right away. It’s a beautifully composed shot and one that a viewer can read so much into. What’s going through the policewoman’s mind? We’ll never know, but it’s a great image.’
