    Dear Judges:
    It is clear that shumly understatnds the art of photography.
    you have seen his work, he is simply amazing.
    shmuly also showed, that he gets how to capture the reader, by displaying the a great photo.

  • ACHDUS!!

    the achdus pic, showing 2 diff men, saying tehillim from the same sefer, is probably the best news! What better news can Hashem have then Achdus!!?!!?

  • Mrs.Ivana

    levi your pic is great , I especially love the black grime on the guys hands, it shows how u really captured the moment

  • Chaya M

    The photo by Sara Shizgal, of the baby and parent hand in hand, is just beautiful. I also really like the picture that Meir Simcha Rubashkin had of the poshute yid and the chossid davening together – b’ezrat hashem in the merit of this wonderful achdus, many yeshuos will come about and moshiach will come now!

  • Fan

  • A proud sydneysider :)

    go dovber straiten!! Unless u live in sydney, u don’t know what a show of achdus that photo displays!! Great news beyond!

  • Sara Jenk

    I believe the picture of the 2 Rabbis portrays a message beyond a picture. Like it says a pictures is more than a thousand words. Meir Simcha captured the beauty in his picture.

  • Go Meir Simcha

    Meir Simcha, your picture captures the beauty of Am Yisroel!!1
    Keep up your talent to capture such powerful pictures!

  • Achdus now

    The Achdus picture is incredible!! Way to go Meir Simcha. This is definitely what we need now- true Achdus.

    In the merit of achdus may Reb sholom mordechai halevi ben rivkah have an immediate yeshua min hametzar el hamerchav. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MEIR SIMCHA AMAZING PICTURES!!!

  • Molly

    From an artistic viewpoint, the two pictures taken in CH appear to have the most technical skill as far as composition, lighting, drama, etc. I actually like the roadwork one best.

    The main question is, what is the judging based on?
