4th place-'Cave'


Nikon D700, 17-35mm f2.8

Patrick's comment-Ashwini looks stunning in this shot, pose, background, lighting are carefully expose. 'Light Painting' is one of the technique that I learn 15 years ago in commercial field, I will focus more on this to make it to become one of my signature, so far I'm the only one who still apply this technique to wedding photography.

Congrats to Ashwini!

Countdown 2010-5th place

5th place-'Date With Carcosa'


D80-Infra Red, 10.5mm f2.8.

Patrick's comment-Carcosa Seri Negara is one of my favourite location, unfortunately this beautiful place has to close for renovation for a year or two. This is an off moment shot, where Vanessa is walking towards the right spot to get ready for the 'next shoot', sometimes 'off moment' will look better than ready :)

Congrats to Vanessa!
