Now, before we reveal the winners, here are some of the comments or feedback from our judges:

 
·         Look every corner of your frame before you snap - watch out for the "unwanted" subject or object
·         Learn the “rule of thirds” - vertical & horizontal.
·         Be creative - see and learn from others pictures/photos (eg - go through Flickr, 500px,Tumblr, Instagram)
·         Pick your subject carefully – what do you want people to see?
·         Watch out for the horizontal line
·         Most importantly, keep snapping photos wherever you are :) Humans learn from experiences and taking pictures is one of them!
