The Theme was: Reflections
The judge was @shieha
Fantastic entries this week, it was really hard to pick. In the end, it boiled down to the small things like photo quality and distractions on the edge of the frame. There were a lot of creative entries that I really liked that I had to shortlist due to very minor things. - @shieha
