Photo: Parvel Lukes
The winning shot. A bike and a shadow by Parvel Lukes from Czech Republic.
The University Post chose this photograph by Pavel as the winner of our competition because we think it captures the essential Copenhagen method of transportation in front of a backdrop of contrasting brightness and shadow.
See the two winning photos and the some of the best entries to the competition here.
The winning photographer, Pavel Lukeš says, »The picture was taken very, very early in the morning when you could hardly spot somebody on the streets. I think it nicely shows the contrast which is present in CPH.«
The judges agree with Pavel that it reflects the two sides of Copenhagen: the lively and the dull. The picture, according to the photographer from the Czech Republic, was taken very early in the morning. The sharp light and the eye catching lamppost shadow is an optimistic representation of Copenhagen. As the sun rises, the energy and light replaces the darkness.
Second prize went to Emma O'Callahan. She captured an unusual Copenhagen moment at the World Out Games in the summer. The caption is World Out Games Closing Parade - anyone missing their flag?
Emma O'Callahan writes, »I don't know whether this is exactly "appropriate" but I believe it suits the theme perfectly!«
