🏆 And the Winner is... Luc Van Landeghem!

Photo by: Luc Van Landeghem
Title: Montgolfier in Morocco

1st prize: Xpozer (80x120cm)

Luc's photograph is a masterclass in capturing the scale and serenity of adventure. The image immediately transports the viewer to the skies above Morocco. From a photographer's standpoint, the composition is superb. The large, vibrant red balloon is perfectly placed on the left third of the frame, creating a strong focal point that contrasts beautifully with the soft, hazy tones of the vast desert landscape and distant mountains. This use of color makes the balloon pop, symbolizing the spirit of travel.

The soft morning light creates a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere, enhanced by the atmospheric haze that adds layers and a profound sense of depth. The subtle details, like the winding road below and the other distant balloons, give a sense of scale and shared experience. It’s a technically sound and emotionally resonant image that perfectly encapsulates the magic of seeing the world from a new perspective.

🥈 Second Place: Henk Pijnappels

Title: A parade of Moros y Cristianos in Aspe, Spain

2nd prize: EPIX photo tiles (4x)

Henk’s photo proves that travel is as much about people and culture as it is about places. This shot plunges us directly into the vibrant energy of the "Moros y Cristianos" festival. The photographer captured not just a moment, but a feeling. The composition is incredibly powerful, using repetition and pattern in the line of performers to create a strong visual rhythm that draws the eye through the frame. The tight crop and profile view create an intimate yet intense atmosphere.

The rich textures of the costumes—the feathers, fur, and beads—are rendered with fantastic clarity, while the striking face paint provides a compelling focal point. As Henk notes, "What a fantastic experience and very photogenic." This photograph does more than just document the event; it captures its soul and makes the viewer feel like they are standing right there on the street, immersed in the tradition and spectacle.

🥉 Third Place: Gertjan Vaart

Photo by: Gertjan Vaart
Title: A View Above the Blue

3rd prize: EPIX retro tiles (4x)

Gertjan’s photograph is pure, breathtaking awe. This is the kind of view that travelers dream of. The choice of a high-angle perspective is crucial here, emphasizing the immense scale of the cliffs and the incredible, almost surreal, color of the water. The brilliant turquoise and deep blues create a stunning contrast with the sun-bleached white of the rock face, a color palette that screams "idyllic paradise."

From a photographic perspective, the composition is excellent. The curving cliffs act as a natural frame, guiding the viewer's gaze down towards the cove. The tiny boats below, including the one tucked into the sea cave, are essential elements; they provide a sense of scale that allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur of the landscape. It’s a perfectly executed shot that captures the majestic beauty of a hidden coastal gem.

Thank You!
