The Motif Collective Mar 2020 Photography Competition Winners

"Reflections" 2020 Theme Winners

From endless materials and objects around us, glass water, rivers or drifting tides reflections have long been a wonderful part of many magnificent images in photography. What really seems to set them apart always seems to be a step away from the traditional rules as though them seem to take on a personal introspective perspective while being framed up.

Sheikh Zayed Mosque by Judith Kuhn

Our Third Place Winner was submitted by
Judith Kuhn from Immenstaad, Germany

I am a nature photographer - I mainly shoot landscapes, animals and plants.

My goal is to make moody moments last. Colorful sunsets, magical fog moods and the nature in the change of the seasons belong to the highlights in photography for me.

I live in southern Germany on the beautiful Lake Constance, where I have some excellent fotospots right outside the front door. The German, Austrian and Swiss Alps are not far away either. But I also like traveling to more distant destinations around the world.
