CRUSHING the competition this month is Jimmy, from Calgary, Canada, with this impressive, sublime, and unique image taken in Vietnam. He states in the photo description,

"A countryside setting like this cannot be found anywhere else in the world and sometimes we must pause and digest what is in front of us.

Something we tend to overlook in this troubled and fast-paced life of ours."

Indeed. Words are too weak to express the perfection of this photograph, with which he came in 2nd in the People qualifying round and then soared off to the Hall of Fame with a good margin of victory.

What equipment do you use?

- Most of the photos taken on my stream are from a Sony DSLR A100 but my more recent photos were taken with my new Sony DSLR A700.

What type of photography do you enjoy shooting the most?

- I love shooting just about anything and everything. However, I especially enjoy taking pictures of people since I feel human emotions evoke the strongest sentiments.

What is the story behind your Brackets entry?

-Sunlight Chasers was taken just outside Hanoi on my last day in Vietnam as I headed into southern China. Fields and fields of rice paddies dot the Vietnamese countryside and the school children seemed to be coming home from school. The photo gives me the strong sense of discipline, simplicity and culture all wrapped up in one image. The sunset just added a beautiful mood.

Any tips for how to take a great photo?

-Yeah, I'd love some tips on taking great photos as well!! =)
