Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos shot along a shoreline in this photo contest with chances to win a Sony QX10 Lens. Smartphones have changed the way we take and share photos. The DSC-QX10 takes it to the next level with a 10x zoom and detail never before possible from a smartphone.

A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Greg Vaughn for his collaboration as a guest judge. Greg Vaughn is a freelance photographer specializing in recreational travel and the natural world. His photography is regularly featured in leading travel magazines and websites such as National Geographic Traveler, Backpacker, VIA, and Travel Oregon, and is distributed worldwide through a network of photo agents. Greg’s photos have won awards from the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW), the North American Nature Photograph Association (NANPA), Print Magazine, Fujifilm, and the Hawaii Visitors Bureau.
