BEST ENTRY FEATURE

ILA chose the top three (1st, 2nd and 3rd place) and following, sixteen remarkable photographs.

FIRST PLACE: RAYEES DAR from Kashmir and a most exquisite reflection.

SECOND PLACE: ZENAIDA LARAGAN TALOZA from Italy Zenaida's photograph is of the famous Vesuvius Volcano located in Naples. She took the photo from the 5th floor where her friend lives and taken from a balcony overlooking the volcano with an exquisite sunset glowing in the background.

THIRD PLACE: DEBRA J. MASKY from Dubai: Debra's photography certainly tells a story about the lives of others, a part of humanity. As Debra stated when she took the photograph, "the wrinkles tell another story, the veins on her hands told of hard times spent and still carrying on life. She was on her way to the market in a crowded bus." Photograph taken on an Oppo mobile phone.
