Mural, Vietnam

It took a lot of patience and a quick reaction to get this shot of one of the world’s longest mosaic murals in Hanoi’s Long Biên district. Paul Sansome, a UK-based photographer, waited at a busy junction while heavy traffic slowed in all directions, eventually framing a photo with just one single bike passing by. The eye-catching image was named best single image in the Travel Portfolio category.

Long Hai fish market, Vietnam

The uniform blue-and-white palette of the trays of fish (and worker’s shirt) create a mesmerizing image, highlighted further by the unexpected pop of color from the beautiful yellow hat. Taken at Long Hai fish market in the Vietnamese province of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, where thousands of trays of fry are dried in yards and on rooftops, it earned Khánh Phan a special mention in the Travel Portfolio category.
