Autumn Colours Photo Contest Winners: A Celebration of Nature's Beauty
As autumn reaches its peak and the lush green of summer transforms into the vibrant red, orange, and yellow tones of the season, our photo contest, ‘Autumn Colours,’ has come to an end. From the 25 top-voted autumn photographs, our expert jury selected the three most outstanding images. Read on to discover what impressed our jury about these photos and learn from their insightful feedback.
The Winner of the Autumn Colours Photo Contest Is... Charelle Roeda
Charelle’s photo, ‘Lovely Frog on a Mushroom’, won the jury’s heart with its exceptional technical execution and thoughtful composition. This image is more than just a snapshot of nature – it is a masterful representation of balance, focus, and artistry. The frog’s piercing eyes draw the viewer into an intimate encounter, while its soft bokeh background brings focus to the subject with graceful simplicity. The main subject is perfectly positioned according to the golden ratio, creating harmony without being too predictable.
A golden stripe in the blurred background flows from the center to the top right, adding a dynamic element that makes the photo feel alive. Charelle’s photo captures a fleeting moment in nature, frozen beautifully in time. Congratulations, Charelle! You have won an 80 x 120 cm Xpozer print to give your masterpiece the attention it truly deserves.
2nd Place Goes to... Sacha van Rietschoten
Sacha’s ‘Autumn Sunsets Are Magical’ transports us into a dreamy, mystical world where silhouettes and soft mists embrace the serenity of the autumn landscape. The image captures the tranquil atmosphere perfectly, with a solitary bird gliding across a foggy lake, its wings cutting through the calmness. The golden hues blend seamlessly, starting from the dark tones at the bottom and transitioning to a bright, warm orange at the top. A burst of sunlight in the upper-right corner further adds energy and balance to the photo. The contrast between the sharp silhouettes and the hazy mist creates a captivating tension that the jury couldn’t resist.
Congratulations, Sacha! You’ve won 4 EPIX Tiles, which you can arrange into an impressive wall collage that tells the story of autumn’s quiet beauty.
3rd Place Goes to... Angela John
Angela’s ‘Golden Wine’ captures the raw beauty of autumn in a breathtaking display of light and color. The sun breaks through dark clouds, creating a golden burst that illuminates a peaceful village below. The rays of sunlight shine down on fields and hills, creating a sense of calm and awe. The horizon, framed perfectly by the surrounding landscape, evokes a feeling of warmth despite the cool autumn air. Angela’s ability to capture the dramatic contrast between light and shadow truly elevates this image.
Congratulations, Angela! You’ve won 3rd Prize, an EPIX Retro 4-pack, perfect for transforming your favorite moments into stunning photo tiles.
