Farzad Emani: Mushroom
Score: 23/30
Judges Comments:
- White line from right distracts
- Full marks for intriguing image; like to see a full range of tones its missing pure black; cropping slightly would improve it
- Magnificent radial lines fanning outwards creates a compelling abstract.

Kaveh Rasouli: Just Married
Score: 19/30
Judges Comments:
- Something like married 40 years
- Its a nice image; the pattern doesn’t evoke any feelings - just a pattern of lines
- I would enjoy this imaginative image more if the bright white weren't bi-setting the scene

Masoud Harati: Shy & Curious
Score: 24/30
Judges Comments:
- Excellent use of selective focus, eyes of 2nd child razor sharp, drawback blown out shawl
- Beautiful image; several distracting elements, the blown out head scarf and the broach on the girl in the foreground
- You have captures the child's wariness fabulously; softer light of late afternoon or early morning would take this image over-the-top.

Nafiseh Tabari: Harmony
Score: 16/30
Judges Comments:
- Better crop would improve image, improve exposure, less busy
- Only one third of this image speaks of harmony; crop into that one third; then expose it properly
- The raising angle of view so that the lady's shawl is entirely against the green and zoom in on the action.

Payam Peikary: No Back, No School
Score: 18/30
Judges Comments:
- I built that bus, image to be straighten leans to right, too saturated, use a fill light on bus
- No comment
- Because the focal point of interest is the bus, the sky and the foreground should be judiciously cropped.

Sahar Seyedi: Evening Chat
Score: 23/30
Judges Comments:
- Excellent lead in lines, contrast between white and black door adds intrigue, excellent image
- Colorful image; needs some cropping almost all around; if the caption is chat I’m missing the face on the second person.
- The expression on lady in fuchsia is priceless; either show more of lady in white or hide her face completely.
