Stunning Landscapes Photo Contest By NPL Winners

Thank you to all the photographers that shared their most stunning landscape photos in the Stunning Landscapes Photo Contest in collaboration with Nations Photo Lab with chances to win $250 Nations Photo Lab credit and more!

"The finalists in the “Stunning Landscapes” contest were beautiful. I’m honored to judge such beautiful photos. I selected Mighty Skogafoss by Mbeiter as the grand winner. My eye was continually drawn to this photo for several reasons. The point of view the photo was shot from, and the addition of a human element for size/scale, make the scene very dramatic. The processing adds to the shot without being overdone. I selected five photos as runners up. In no particular order: Net Color by remedies caught my eye with beautiful lines and reflections. The Big Pour by dpgoldphotos is a nice example of long exposure in a dramatic setting. Autumn Mirror by dmytrokorol has nice lines and beautiful reflections. One Way to Mystery by AndrasDiana has captured atmosphere and a mood simultaneously. 1:15 by Markus_van_Hauten has beautiful lines and an excellent use of foreground. Congratulations to all the participants for their excellent photos." - Suzanne Haggerty

A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer Suzanne Haggerty for her collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest: "My name is Suzanne, and I live in Orange County, California. Nine years ago I was in a serious car accident and lost the use of my right arm. I’m right handed … so, bummer! The accident occurred when someone ran a stop sign and t-boned my car on the driver’s side, spinning the car a full 360 degrees on impact. I’ve gone through nine surgeries, and basically pure hell, since then. I now have about 25% use of my right arm. I had electrodes implanted in my arm and shoulder, a battery/charger to control them inside my abdomen, and I often refer to myself as The Bionic Woman. I am under the ongoing care of a pain management specialist and a physical therapist. As a result of the car accident, it took me over three years to hold a DSLR camera again. I am now one of the only “one-armed” photographers in the world. (In reality, I DO have two arms – but only one of them actually works the way an arm is supposed to!)". Read more!
