First the HM's in no particular order.

Ken - Like the expression, pose and costume, but most of all the spontaneity.

Markus - Really like the pose and look of this umbrella wielding samurai.

Jarek - The reflection in the glasses is nice, but it'sthe expression with the downcast eyes I really like.

Third Place: Gill - The expression of the little mermaid and the foggy conditions make this a memorable portrait.

Second Place: Vijay - A fantastic portrait with this costume and vivid red tones. The look makes this special.

First Place: Jola - What a great portrait of your daughter. Really like the look, lighting and atmosphere.
Over to you now Jola...
