For this nature photo contest we invited all photographers to share the beauty of our planet by showing off your best nature shots with chances to win a Canon 5D MK III or Nikon D610 camera and more.

A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Michiel Pieters for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest. Michiel is a 26 year old, self taught freelance photographer based in Beringen, Belgium. He discovered his love for outdoor photography while on a road trip through New Zealand in the beginning of 2015. His work nowadays focuses mainly on the feeling he got being on the road for the very first time: Adventure.
