Judging World Bodypainting Festival 2018 photography contest

Once again I was invited to judge World Bodypaintig Festival photography competition 2018. And once again I was happy to accept this invitation.
The most difficult thing for a judge in this contest is to remain completely cool and indifferent to the amazing work of bodypainting artists, and pay maximum attention to the photos in general!
We must judge the photography skills, photography technical details, emotional impact and many other things!
I sincerely congratulate all the winners and express my deep gratitude to the organizers for the invitation! Also, sending greetings to all the judges of this contest.
