WHAT THE JUDGES THOUGHT
An image with such a strong focus on geometry must have fine attention to technique to pull it off. Lines need to be straight and the composition balanced. Here, sharpness is found all the way into each corner and throughout the image allowing the viewer to explore every part of the scene. The image further rewards the viewer who delves into the details with the discovery of people walking on the translucent structures above.
– Matt Palmer
At first, the viewer feels a sense of mirroring in the subject, but on closer inspection, one sees that every part of this capture is unique with such a complexity of detail it takes quite some time to read all of the detail. It has been presented beautifully in a delicate range of grey tones, is pin-sharp, and squared off for a harmonious balance. The image suggests a very strong sense of place, awe-inspiring with wonder, and extremely well handled by the photographer.
– Lesley Downie
This image is outstanding for a number of reasons. At a quick glance, my first impression was, ‘another composite with some degree of trickery’. However, I was wrong. It’s a beautifully seen, beautifully crafted, precise piece of imagery. I’m a sucker for abstract and simple form, and this image is all about that, providing many differing paths for the eye to journey around and explore. It has a wonderful lasting quality that will not date. A classic work.

She continues to explore her capabilities and takes every opportunity she can to build on her knowledge and skills.

Barker has a particular interest in urban landscape, architecture, and black-and-white landscape photography, and sometimes her images end up being a combination of all.

La Tour Eiffel. Looking directly up under the tower, I was amazed at the intricate detail of the steel work. It looks like delicate lace, yet is solid iron. The black-and-white conversion enhances the look of lace that captured my imagination.
