Remark: Easily a postcard shot that represents the beauty of a Filipina. Behind the smile is not just a kind and loving woman, but a tough and hard-working woman as well. This well-framed shot is a tribute to women, with a Filipino touch.

Remark: The image produced was tact-sharp with impeccable play on probably, ambient light. The approach in greyscale really emphasized the golden years of the subject. I couldn't help but be reminded of my hard-working grandmother. This entry is really quite a good tribute to all the women in the world. If not for the watermark, this could have landed first on my list.

Remark: The look on the subject's face tells you a lot about the experiences she's been through. This photo has no fancy post-processing - what you see is what you get. Good old composition, a well balanced photo.

Remark: Fantastic composition with idea in mind. What comes first to mind is that the off focus was done on purpose to portray the photographer's side of his story.

Remark: Creativity has been achieved. Showing the partial nude model has certainly brought out the feminine substance. Although nude, it has shown the qualities or appearance traditionally associated with women like delicacy and prettiness. A job well done to the owner.

Remark: The picture shows a woman who was full of life, and now is not, but is still a sister and mother and friend to her family. Even with this disease, she can still be a celebrated woman for what she has been through and what she has done for others in her life. I love the color treatment in this sad compositon which gives the feeling of anguish and sadness in the woman living in the Nursing Home.

Remark: Celebrating woman/women is all about giving honor or showing them in their best light in an image. One of the best depiction that celebrates a woman is her photo as a bride - her being honored with a promise of a lifetime of love and devotion. There are lots of bride photos among the entries but I pick this one because it is celebratory in nature. What better way to celebrate a bride than with that look of triumph and happiness written all over her face. Classic in black and white, beautiful composition, too!!

A candid and genuine expression of joy that brought beauty to even such ordinary women forms and faces, it is a celebration of life and friendship between women. Picture perfect fleshtone and lighting and even the background. So natural and engaging!

Remark: When judging photos I don't give much weight on the caption or what the photographer has to say about his/her piece. I just look at the photos and let it speak to me with its own visual message. Undeniably a woman form, not even a glamorized silhouette of one - just a woman in utter simplicity and mystery, an understated force to reckon with. Simple yet speaks volume that celebrates a woman's mystic. Creatively done, I appreciate how the photographer subdued and contained his subject to present a remarkable, powerful piece.
