    Honorable Mention in Architecture / Buildings

On a street in The Hague where dozens of people were hurrying, in the built-up space between the buildings there was a levitating sun around which several axes revolved. It made the scene monumental and tender at the same time. In addition, a moment of stopping at the right place showing me the lightness, connectedness and beauty of the rhythm of "nature" managed to fill me within a few seconds with something really unusual. Run there, stop and just be for a while. I believe that the photo will take you where it should. Sometimes it is good to stop even where the surrounding pressure is huge.

Amateur photographer from Slovakia, based in the Netherlands. Photography is my passion and personal journey – one that I pursue with a deep focus on architecture. My attention goes to the classic architectonic styles where I find symmetry and lines, and to modern architecture in which I like to notice minimalistic details and unique framing. I approach my work intuitively rather than technically, allowing curiosity and experimentation to guide me. This openness leads me to explore all possibilities. Black and white photography resonates with me as it teaches me that less can be more.
