Guardian photo competition

Ben Moore, winner [The Guardian]

The gorgeous little children of the Hamar tribe in southern Ethiopia were only too happy to make this circle of feet for me, laughing their heads off all the time. MICK RYAN, JUDGE: Maybe a set-up shot, but many are. The most poignant memories of a trip often aren’t the grand vistas or the glorious sunrises and sunsets, but the smallest details. These children sitting in a circle and this lovely composition of just their toes, feet and legs, says so much. You decide what. 

 

 

I like this, but I'm not sure why or even that I think it is especially a "winner." Perhaps it is somehow peaceful. I honestly don't know.
