I selected the HMs and awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place from the AI-selected images.
The AI provided commentary on the winning images.
HMs in no particular order:




3rd place:

The nighttime scene with the lit pagoda and red lanterns reflecting in the water. This captures a traditional and serene moment in time beautifully mirrored.
2nd place:

The image with the rusted metal fence fallen onto autumn leaves. The decay and natural beauty blend to reflect the passage of time and seasons.
1st place:

The memorial wall with engraved names. This image has a deep emotional resonance, reflecting the enduring memory of those honoured.
