    Overall winner: "Mask of Society" by Marius Vieth

    Street photography has been a passion of mine for many years and I knew my 'Mask of Society' image was the perfect shot for the competition's 'cities at work' brief. I'm constantly looking for new and interesting angles of urban life and its constantly changing landscape never fails to challenge me.
