“Wandering round the Potter’s Town area of Kolkata, I was fascinated by all the activities taking place in the side streets. The brightly coloured walls were the perfect backdrop to this outdoor shave”. PAUL GOLDSTEIN, JUDGE: “I thought I was immune to these sort of candid sub-continent images – clearly not when done this well. It is neither intrusive nor cliched but is not arrived at by accident. The gorgeous colours cover most of the blue through turquoise Pantone chart. However, it is the utter indifference on the expressions that caps it for me”. (Photo by Louise Waldron/The Guardian)
“We were amazed by the view from the Gergeti Trinity church in Georgia. This 14th-century church is at an elevation of 2,170 metres and it’s a three-hour climb to reach it. The view is outstanding and in a good weather you can see the famous Mount Kazbegi, one of the highest summits in Caucasus mountains”. (Photo by Iryna Tuchapska/The Guardian
Winner. “Despite the temptation to seek shelter myself, I took this photo of a small group of gentoo (penguins) on Saunders Island in the Falklands as they struggled against the wind and driving sand to return to their rookery”. PAUL GOLDSTEIN, JUDGE: “A clear winner. Initially I thought this was a study in slow shutter speed, but then saw that these gentoos are almost floating across this Falklands beach in a sandstorm. I would have cropped the whole foreground as it adds little, but that’s a minor criticism. I’ve been to this beach and never got close to this sort of masterpiece”. (Photo by John Birch/The Guardian)
