Airshow | HUAWEI P40 Pro

Jury comment : The picture raises more questions than it answers and thus stimulates the viewer's imagination. Will the plane land safely or will it crash? Where are you going? Who is the person in the foreground? There is a sense of history and movement in this photo, inviting the viewer to fill in the gaps. — Australian portrait photographer Jessica Chromas

Fearless Eagle | HUAWEI Mate 40 RS

Jury comment : In addition to the outside, it is even more important to find the themes, characters or emotions of the moment on the inside. We have seen many eagles in pictures, photos and videos, but this one will always stay with me: it captures the true soul of an eagle. Beneath the plump, thick feathers hide piercing, fearsome eyes. — Chinese fashion photographer Pei Tongton
