Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos showing big mechanical objects in the Large Machines Photo Contest with chances to win an Amazon Echo and more!

A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer Lorenz Holder for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest: "I grew up in Munich, close to the Bavarian mountains, and it is those mountains that have always played a major role in my life. I was fascinated by photos that could describe a whole scene, a whole story or even a whole day, in just one small moment caught on film. This fascination was one of the biggest motivations for me to start my career as a professional photographer. Right now I work as senior photographer for Pleasure Snowboard Magazine and as a staff photographer for Nitro Snowboards."

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Where's my Port?" by travisdaldy

"This photo is the winner of the competition. It has a great composition and it was executed perfectly - good framing and shot at the right time. It gives the viewer something to think about - what’s the story behind the shipwreck.. Also the long exposure time gives the image a nice dreamy background. Excellent work!" - Lorenz Holder

Congratulations Runner Up "C5 Galaxy" by ChristopherLH

"Well deserved 2nd place! A great image with great symmetrical architecture and and really huge machine. One step more to the right, to make the image a 100 % symmetric - and there would be a tie on the leaderboard. But nevertheless a very well executed photo!" - Lorenz Holder

Congratulations Runner Up "Digger" by lucamac

"This image just got me right away. The composition in combination with the wide-angle-lense just gives this machine so much power and drama. Also the details with the tracks in the sand make this image very special. A well deserved third place!" - Lorenz Holder

Congratulations Amateur Winner "Central Processing Platform" by FabreGov

Congratulations People's Choice "The Wreck of the Telamon" by Timm15

"Everything is perfect, but somehow my eye was always looking for a bit more room at the rocks in the foreground." - Lorenz Holder
