Everyone sees the world differently. As the 2019 contest launches, here’s what’s captured the eyes of our pint-sized snappers last year.
“I love both Lego and Where's Wally?,” Kobi said.
Judge’s comments:
Ken Done: Lego has always been beautiful and all kids are used to looking at it, but this picture, because of the Where’s Wally? character, makes it a real story.
“Sometimes it is the little things that are the most beautiful. We need to stop and notice them,” Patrick said.
“I spotted the caterpillar on a pot in our balcony and I went really close to it. I like all the features about it, especially the spikes. It looks small in the photo but it's really big because it has eaten all our plants!” Ryder said.
“Wow. There's pictures everywhere!” Gwendolene said.
“I like the way the heart looks,” Stella said.
“Whilst the sunset was beautiful, it was the golden rowing boats that captured our attention,” Adam said.
“This leaf takes on a whole other life in the park after it falls from the tree,” Cameron said.
“Looking at a seagull upside down,” Alessandra said.
"I looked up and saw all the lines. The blue sky was nice too," said Lux Angelina.
“My brother and I were playing in the park when we saw these autumn leaves. We started throwing them at each other when I decided to take a photo with my brother looking through one leaf. I find it interesting that some trees change colour in autumn,” Krish said.
“I saw this tree from the car on the way back from a day trip. I asked my dad to stop the car so I could take a photo of the tree. I like that this was the only tree in the landscape. It really captures the isolation and loneliness of the countryside,” Ishaan said.
“I get to see this every day. How lucky am I!?” Edward said.
“I like how the rock has eroded. I like how the graceful curves are irregular and unique,” Liam said.
“It was freezing cold up on the ferris wheel but when you score the last ride of the night, it’s pretty cool,” Lily said.
“Where the ducks go to swim and play,” Lochlainn said.
“Baskets ready to be filled with goodness,” Max said.
“The colourful Lego buildings during the night are a reminder of my favourite and most creative festival in Sydney, Vivid. The three main buildings in this photo, Sydney Tower, JP Morgan and MLC Centre, are all visible from my balcony and represented by the Lego buildings,” Maya said.
