A very fun and exciting photograph. Brilliant bold colours and good use of props. Great use of Fast shutter speed to capture movement.
While all these images are worthy contenders and show expertise, what attracts me to Milliecent’s photograph is its simple spontaneity, coupled to the fact that she chooses to render it in monochrome. The simplicity of capturing the moment is the supreme gift that photography offers, and in our complex, often manipulative, profit-driven and Photo-shopped world, this is precisely what we are in danger of loosing. If Milliecent can avoid these black holes in her future career, she will do well.
Spontaneous and modern I like the irony of the books and the dis-regarded phone.
Because we have all felt this way at some time..
I really like the thought processes and planning that have produced Mikaela’s excellent imagery of progression – from parental support to independence via a [semi] protected crossing
I like Mikaela Mae Cobby’s simple message linking education, maturation, and the journey of life from home to the wider world, together with echos of the Beatles Abbey Road photo.
I am disappointed that none of the finalists was a mature student.
Great set of photographs demonstrating the skills of our students.
Some great images but Mikaelas joiner appealed as the medium was used effectively to convey her message.
I liked Mikaela’s lovely story of growing up through education.
I thought Mikaelas work was very unique and was a great ideas to show the progression through education.
I liked Mikaela cobbys as it showed the stages of education that children go through until their college days.
I absolutely love the skill and creativity in Mikaela Mae Cobbys Photograph. Brilliant play on the famous Beatles image, well done Mikaela and Good Luck.
love the imaginative storytelling and a good touch with the Beatles Abbey Road theme
I liked mikaela cobbys version. Thought prevoking!
Mikaelas work is very inspiring. Reminds us the journey we all take through captured on one photo.

Very talented young lady. Unique storytelling technique through the stages of education with a huge imagination. Mikaela deserves to do extremely well. Good luck
Brilliant and original.
I liked Mikaela Cobbys work
I found it very creative and she has an amazing talent
And captured it very well.
Good Luck
Striking imagery
Fab photography by Mikaela Cobby!
I think courts is the best
I think Emily witham is the best. For a young person I think she’s shown a lot of creativity and initiative! She’s done something original where as mikaela has copied something that’s been done many times. Yours is brilliant Emily!
I love Mikaela’s shot – kind of a mix of Abbey Road and the progression of man but with a very contemporary feel to it. And it all looks like the same girl – cleverly executed.
A very beautiful photograph
Amazing from Jess Lacey!!
Excellent well done great photo
I agree with Courtney, Mikaela Mae Cobby’s work is of a high standard, but this has been done multiple tines before, an example: The Beatles on Abbey Road. Emily’s work is creative and of a high standard. Different is best. My vote for Emily Witham!
I really liked mikaelas interpretation I thought it was clever to mix her own ideas with that of something people can relate to. Worked brilliantly. Copying is a word i would not use! Be positive folks They are all brilliant! Well done everyone.
I don’t like Mikalea’s as I think it’s poorly edited, the lighting doesn’t compliment each sector. I love how creative Emily Witman’s is, she deserves to win
