August ‘People’ monthly photo comp: the results! 

Congratulations to Brian Elling who has won our August ‘People’ photo competition with the image Nature's Cinema, as judged by our guest judge, photographer Drew Hopper.

Commenting on Brian's winning image, Drew shared,  

Brian has captured the precious moment between father and child. The candid frame shows us one of life's quiet moments that often go unnoticed by the outside looker. The stance of the young child evokes a great sense of wonder about the simple things in life, which is a beautiful reminder for us all in today's chaotic world. 

As winner, Brian will take home an amazing ProArt PA247CV monitor, valued at $399 thanks to our amazing sponsors ASUS.  

Drew has also given a special mention to the following three entries: 

Over on Facebook, Deni Cupit has won our People's Choice award for the image On the tiles, which received over 250 likes! As People's Choice winner, Deni has won a 12-month digital subscription to either Australian Photography or Capture magazine.
