3rd Pick - Entry no. 15 - Carlo Paolo Adrillana - "Poolside Photog" - Nikon D7K
Quality - 25/30
Creativity and Originality - 20/30
Theme Adaptation - 20/20
Overall Impression - 18/20
TOTAL - 83/100
Remark: I liked the overall quality of this image. It is composed well and feels balanced. The depth of field is good. Noise is low. Highlights just a bit over exposed. It fits the theme very well - a photographer framing a shot or reflecting on one just taken and appearing to be relaxed in the effort. It is a well thought out photo. Image left me with the feeling that I wanted to be in her place.
2nd Pick - Entry no. 31 - Beeboo Baxa Daguplo - "Please wait, Mommy" - Canon 500D
Quality - 25/30
Creativity and Originality - 22/30
Theme Adaptation - 20/20
Overall Impression - 18/20
TOTAL - 85/100
Remark: Image works well in black and white. Good framing and exposure. I like how the lighting illuminates the child's eyes - and gives me a feeling of seeing the photographer's eyes as she sees through the lens. This image appeals to me on this level as I have a daughter about this age and she is also taking an interest in photography. Perfect photo for the theme. - a photographer in the act of taking a picture.
1st Pick - Entry no. 37 - Aries Aguilar - "Sweet Romance" - Nikon D90
Quality - _28_/30
Creativity and Originality - 25/30
Theme Adaptation - 20/20
Overall Impression - 20/20
TOTAL - _93_/100
Remark: This photo does it for me - excellent composition and exposure, good focus and depth of field. The lighting is on the money. And the image captures a photographer intent on getting the right image for his 'client' - the epitome of the theme. Timing is also right on as it captures the kiss. A splendid image.

3rd pick - Entry no. 18 - Lindsay Roberts - "Me in the mirror taking photo of me on the computer with reflection of me in the computer" - Canon 5MDK11

Quality - 10/30
Creativity and Originality - 30/30
Theme Adaptation - 20/20
Overall Impression - 10/20
TOTAL - 70/100
Remark: In line with the theme, yet I feel there is something missing in this photo. I would prefer if the photographer had used a prime lens to add more bokeh to the background to make it less distracting hence I had to give the quality a 10/30. Creativity & Originality is superb - something new which we do not find in other photos. Bravo!!!

TOTAL - 90/100
Remark: It is a photo with a concept which I favour personally.With creativity in mind to capture the audience but yet focusing attention to the theme. Creativity & Originality here requires some praises where composition and timing is of the essence. Job well done you are my top pick!

3rd pick – Entry no. 5 - Joanna Lynn Ong - "Scotch Bottle Genie" - Nikon D90
Quality - 28/30
Creativity and Originality -28/30
Theme Adaptation - 20/20
Overall Impression - 15/20
TOTAL - 91/100
Remark: Obviously the photographer gave her effort to this kind of shot. It is not a common shot. When I saw this photo I didn’t realize that there was a bottle. Maybe a little adjustment on the aperture of the camera will help to make the bottle more obvious. So that you can see a beautiful genie in the bottle. But it was a great shot!
2nd pick – Entry no. 6 - Allan Valenzona - "Comfort Zone" - CANON EOS 1000D
Quality - 28/30
Creativity and Originality - 30/30
Theme Adaptation – 20/20
Overall Impression - 19/20
TOTAL - 96/100
Remark:
What captured me most in this shot is the title itself, “Comfort Zone". As a photographer he showed his passion in this picture. In what way did he show it? He revealed himself by exhibiting kitchen utensils and camera artistically in the three objects. 3 in 1, as we say it. In addition, the object formed was a symbol of PEACE…. A ZONE where there is COMFORT, indeed. GREAT JOB!
1st pick – Entry no. 42 - Omar Jordan de Guzman - "My world, I rule" - Nikon D700
Quality - 29/30
Creativity and Originality - 28/30
Theme Adaptation - 20/20
Overall Impression - 18/20
TOTAL - 98/100
Remark:
This picture showed clearly what the title wants to express…a man/photographer standing on the world. The action of his fist showing he stands for what he is, a PHOTOGRAPHER. Nice shot, good framing. The stripes of the globe continually reflect on the open shelves of the background.

3rd pick - Entry 13 - Manuel Yambao Jr. - "Double Protection" - Nikon D7K
Quality - 30/30
Creativity and Originality - 26/30
Theme Adaptation - 18/20
Overall Impression - 17/20
TOTAL - 91/100
Remark: Anything to take that shot, even wear mismatched water protection (at least the hat matches the outfit) ;) But humor aside, it follows the theme - it is a photo of a photographer trying to take a photo even in uncooperative weather conditions. Photographers are supposed to be chameleons that blend in on their surroundings - this one appears to be a peacock. ;) This photographer photo is different. Something that leaves a smile to the viewer. It is a simple, crisp, appealing shot.
2nd pick - Entry 2 - Camilo Corpuz - "That's it, girl!" - Nikon D2HS
Quality - 24/30
Creativity and Originality - 30/30
Theme Adaptation - 20/20
Overall Impression - 20/20
TOTAL - 94/100
Remark: What makes this shot different is it shows not just the photographer in action actually taking photos. It also shows how he was able to successfully motivate his subject. Something which I think is an important quality of a good photographer. I like the unconventional way it was taken. The subject takes the most part of the frame while at the same time focusing on the main theme which is the photographer himself. Very apt use of foreground. Great job!

TOTAL - 95/100
Remark: An iconic photographer shot! It is different from other photographer photos in a way that it shows that it is a photographer photo without him aiming at a camera to shoot. It's like saying the photographer gets tired, too, shooting, not to mention carrying all those stuff. Apt use of black and white. Even the choice of background and the man's expression contribute to the "tiring" feeling - as if this photographer "had really been to war". Simple but effective. Excellent shot!
