1st Place: After Sunset by Ramyn.Az
Michał Górski: This piece captivates with its realistic depiction of an urban landscape at dusk. The beautifully rendered details, like the reflections of lights on the wet pavement and the interplay of streetlights, create an incredible atmosphere. The complementary colors of the warm lights and cool evening tones add depth and harmony to the scene, making it feel both natural and visually striking. It’s a great example of how 3D techniques can be used to tell a story through imagery.
Jakub Trusiewicz: I chose this work because it stands out for its extremely high quality of execution and exceptional attention to detail. The author has taken great care of every element of the scene - from the perfectly balanced lighting, which builds an immersive atmosphere, to the natural and harmonious color palette. The composition is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also thought through to the smallest detail, which gives the work the character of a strongly “photographic” shot.
The atmosphere of this work is extremely attractive and easy to identify with. The work fully fits the theme of the contest. I congratulate the author on the idea, excellent technique and such careful execution
Michal Horba: Congratulations on your win! Great work. I really like the realism it presents and the way it is executed. It's clear that lighting is your forte as well as you handle the preparation of materials well. Keep it up!
2nd Place: Timeless Streets: A Classic Reimagined by nadeemka

Michał Górski: This work stands out with its meticulous attention to detail and the serene, atmospheric portrayal of a bygone era. The soft morning light, combined with the textures of the architecture and cobblestone street, brings the scene to life. It's a beautifully crafted composition that feels both authentic and timeless.
Jakub Trusiewicz: The work stands out for its precise execution and attention to detail, which catch the eye and give realism to the scene. The composition creates an evocative and coherent story, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the historic city.
The idea of depicting a scene from life in the context of years past shows a sense of aesthetics and a concern for authenticity. This is a thoughtful and visually rich work that effectively captures the atmosphere of the time. The author deserves credit for his meticulous attention to detail and skillful capture.
Michał Horba: Congratulations on your talent and a skilled eye. The work is in keeping with the theme and executed flawlessly. I really like the effect of the old photo that you decided to use in the final version of your work. This scene seriously resembles an old photograph and conveys the atmosphere of years gone by.The frame is correct, it reads well. The street contains interesting models and there is a lot going on. I like with what accuracy you pasted the characters from the photos. Very good work!
3rd Place: Echoes of the Past, Visions of the Future by paperplanestudio

Michał Górski: This work beautifully captures the nostalgic charm of a historic city street, blending the elegance of old architecture with a cinematic atmosphere. The subtle haze in the background, combined with the warm light on the tram, creates a sense of depth and timelessness. It's a perfect balance of mood, composition, and detail, making it truly captivating.
Jakub Trusiewicz: The work is distinguished by its high quality of execution and exceptional attention to detail. The author has shown the passing of time and change in an interesting way, juxtaposing the classic character of the street with modern skyscrapers under construction in the background.
The whole work subtly tells the story of everyday life, enriched by a nostalgic mood emphasized by fog and lighting. It's a thoughtful work, in keeping with the subject, that makes you think. I congratulate the author on his solid workmanship and interesting approach to the subject.
Michał Horba: Very cool idea to show the ‘old’ being replaced by the ‘new’. The work is in keeping with the theme and is very well done. The frame is great, it emphasises the metropolitan character.It is very good to read the ‘change’ that takes place in the background. On the plus side is the fact that the whole thing, not counting the figures, is done in 3d. The lighting is chosen skilfully and very much builds up the scene and its atmosphere. Great, moody work. Congratulations on your talent!
Honorable mentions:
Michal Górski: This piece deserves special recognition for its moody, cinematic feel and exceptional use of reflections to enhance the composition. The subdued color palette and interplay of light and shadow perfectly capture the quiet intensity of a cityscape in the fog. It's a striking visual that leaves a lasting impression.
Jakub Trusiewicz: The author perfectly captured the urban scenery, using contrasting lighting that draws the eye and builds an atmosphere of mystery and melancholy. The sparing color palette was chosen with exceptional sensitivity, which gives the whole picture harmony and elegance.
The composition of the painting is carefully planned - the reflections in the puddle add depth and dimension, and the lone silhouette of a passerby introduces a subtle narrative, making the scene more personal and emotional. The photorealistic rendering and attention to detail, such as floating smoke and light reflections, demonstrate the author's great commitment. The work fits perfectly with the theme of the competition, impressing both with its technique and the story it tells.
Michal Horba: Congratulations! Great work. I really like the atmosphere and the shot used. The use of the puddle is a very cool idea. Keep it up!
Michal Górski: This piece has a unique charm, focusing on the warmth of human connection and creativity. It beautifully portrays a shared moment between a parent and child, emphasizing the joy of learning and building together. While it may not have the dramatic atmosphere of the other works, its storytelling and emotional resonance make it a lovely addition.
Jakub Trusiewicz: This work impresses with its photorealistic quality of execution and extraordinary attention to detail. The render is so realistic that it can easily be mistaken for a real photograph. The simplicity of the shot, the subtle and natural lighting, and the skillful use of AI techniques in post-production make the image cohesive, harmonious and extremely aesthetically pleasing. The author has chosen an interesting and non-obvious approach to the subject, presenting a story that is easy to identify with - family moments, playing together and exploring the world. The emotional overtones of the work, subtly woven into the narrative, give it a unique character and depth. Both the technique and the idea stand at the highest level. The work fits perfectly with the theme of the competition. It inspires with its simplicity and sensitivity. I congratulate the author on the idea and the masterful execution!
Michał Horba: Congratulations on your work! A very cool idea to combine story telling and the theme of the competition. I must say that the whole thing is very well done and shows this supposedly simple situation in a natural way. You have done a great job of transforming the building into a cardboard model :) I find the whole thing to be in keeping with the topic and executed at a high level. Well done!
