Congratulations to Jan Ison with this image entitled 'Old Men's Community Club'. Jan from Jersey, England has won 6 months membership to The Society of International Travel & Tourism Photographers.

Jan explains the image - ''This image was taken in an old men’s community centre at Chen Yang, in the wider area of SanJiang. I spent quite a while observing these men playing cards and trying to get the right angle without having a window in the background. The interior of the room was dark with no lighting and so the men were sitting near to the two open windows. After about 20 images, I finally found the right place to take my image and waited patiently for the man in his traditional Chinese clothing and cap to play his hand. Oh to speak Chinese! However we had an excellent interpreter with us. Taken with a Canon 5D mk3 with a 24-70mm lens at 25mm. ISO 2500 f3.5 1/100th sec on manual mode.''
