Judges Comments:
“The various representations are distinctly separated yet combine to an overall organic
image. The photo offers a complex variation of the traditional solution to simply photograph a given pattern, by letting us look through the pattern and see the same pattern in variations.”

Prize: Photobird.com one-year subscription with 100 megabytes of storage space
