Second Prize: Larry Louie
Six-day walking tour for two in County Kerry, Ireland.
Canadian Larry Louie, an Edmonton optometrist, took this photograph in the "blue city" of Jodhpur during a trip to India in 2004. "I was wandering in some of the back alleys when I noticed an elderly lady sitting in the shade in front of her home. The blue buildings of the area seemed particularly intense in the shade on a bright, sunny day," explains Louie. As he was trying to communicate with the older woman, her daughter came out of the house. "The moment the daughter stopped beside her mother, the whole scene seemed complete, balanced. The rest was just luck; the way the clothing and shoes were so complementary to the background, providing an almost monochromatic image." (Contax N1, Zeiss 24-85mm zoom lens, Fujichrome Provia film.)
