First-Place winner A Young Boy Finds Joy The Spanish are quit the social bunch. They enjoy good food and company, and this popular plaza became my perfect spot to watch and catch a few rays. Despite the lack of an actual 'futbol' field or team players, the Spanish passion for the sport is visible just about everywhere you turn. Here, I was lucky enough to snap a photo of this little guy making his country proud and truly having a ball (pun intended). |

Second-Place winner
Young Girls Eating Mango at the Damba Festival This photo was taken at the Muslim Damba Festival in Tamale, in the Northern region of Ghana. The festival was so chaotic and people were celebrating everywhere. I wanted to take so many pictures, but the second I would whip out my camera to take something in particular, 10 little kids would jump in front of my camera asking me to take thier picture. I saw these two little girls and asked if I could take their picture, and unlike the rest of the kids, these two, as you can see from their faces, were less than excited, and confused as to why I would want to take their picture. |

Honorable Mention
Living Statue One thing I particularly miss about traveling abroad is watching the many quality street performers. You can find some real performance artists in foreign cities, and this man I found while visiting Bath is simply the best I have ever seen. Not only did he manage to fool both tourists and pigeons, but people still don't think he's real when I show them the photo! |
