Thank you to all the photographers that shared their photos showing the ocean in the Winter time for a chance to win a Canon 20D DSLR Camera, a blog exclusive feature and much more. A big thank you to friend and guest judgeĀ Francesco Gola. FrancescoĀ  is an Italian engineer who's fallen in love with photography. Born in Italy in 1981, as soon as he started taking pictures he fell in love with long exposures of seascapes. For him a long exposure is a parallel universe in which to escape from the frenzy of modern life. His passion for the sea and for travels let him to visit some of the most iconic locations on this planet looking at them with different eyes. While continuing to travel in search of new landscapes to be photographed, he now lives and works in Milan where he collaborates with companies, sites and magazines for the diffusion of photographic culture in Italy and in the world.
