The results have now been revealed for #IGPOTY Black & White (Competition 16) Photo Project! The 1st Place is awarded to Patricia Martin - for the photograph: 'Silent Witness' Location: Rosebank, New South Wales, Australia "A lush bank of trees silently witnessed the extraordinary sight above them. Due to atmospheric conditions, a fallstreak hole had formed in already unusual cloud formations, possibly induced by a passing aircraft. I felt really privileged to witness this event at the right moment, the effects being quite short-lived. Not being on a photo shoot meant I didn’t have my DSLR with me, so instead I captured this moment using my smartphone." Many congratulations to Patricia! © Patricia Martin 📷 Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung 4.35mm lens, 1/18000sec at f/1.9, ISO 40.
