In a quirk of the anonymous judging process, Magdalena also claimed second place with Miles to Go, a snapshot of commuters crossing the Thames in London. Although it has a very everyday feel to it, the photo stood out for the judges because of its angularity and the almost mirror-like merging of levels that it depicts.
Third place was awarded to Pola Cebulak for Balkan roadtrip with lubencia. The 29-year-old Polish post-doc captured the image while waiting to board the ferry to the Croatian island of Hvar during a tour of South Eastern Europe that also took in Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro. You can find more examples of her work here.
Many congratulations to the winners and a big thank you everyone who took part. But if you missed the competition deadline, not to worry; Europe Through a Lens will be back with a new theme for May / June very soon!
