Zinédine Zidane "Zizou" Tschuttiheftli competition. Picked by jurymember David Squires

Commment by David Squires:
"It was incredibly difficult to pick one winner, but
this entry stood out for me on the first view and every
subsequent review (of which there were many). It is
technically superb, featuring the strong use of light
and shadow and attention to detail. Many entries
presented accurate portraits of Zidane, but for me, this
one was not only precise but also revealed a glimpse of
his darker side. "
