Thank you to all the photographers that shared their most adventurous travel shots in the Creative Travel Photo Contest with chances to win a Nikon D5300 Camera and more!
"An outstanding image captures the essence of the photographer’s experience, and it allows the viewer to participate in the scene at a unique moment in time. This image immediately draws in the viewer with a fabulous composition and leading line of the whale, complemented by an interesting diagonal flow throughout the image. The dramatic contrast of the immense creature in proportion to the diver is exquisite. The image captures the moment when the diver’s camera is at rest, while the diver is immersed in that special relationship of a beautiful, otherworldly experience." - Deborah Sandidge

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Sunset Paddle" by tracymunson
"This is a wonderful image captured during the perfect light of sunset. The viewer is transported into the scene, feeling very much part of the element of the waterscape at this beautiful time of day. This image powerfully captures the mood, drama, and artistic beauty of an exquisite travel image." - Deborah Sandidge
Congratulations Runner Up "Cerro Torre/Fitzroy, Glaciers of Patagonia 3" by AdamK
"The challenge for the photographer is to capture an image with great tonality that becomes even more powerful when color is removed from the scene. This is a phenomenal black and white image representing the many glaciers of Patagonia. This photo has excellent patterns, textures, and unique repetition of shapes echoed in the glorious vantage point of the glaciers and mountains." - Deborah Sandidge
Congratulations Runner Up "The Aurora Night In Lapland" by jarijohnsson
"This dramatically exposed image presents an interesting leading line which beautifully draws the viewer into a fairytale of a nighttime image. Tall, stoic, snow laden trees, crested with arches of exquisite Northern Lights, and framed with a deep night sky full of stars delivers the perfect balance of color, composition, and artistic influence. Outstanding!" - Deborah Sandidge
