Beautiful! Would have been nice to see the other submissions as well
hey judges, this is NOT normal sky colors, it’s called photoshope
I entered this contest years ago, it was a joke
Why so negative? This contest is a good thing!
You sound like a sore loser…..
agreed, this is won by those whom volunteer. The judges no less then my 10 year old son does about ‘real’ photography. Anyone can run a picture through photoshop cleaner and add color, my kids do this while ‘playing’ everyday. This is a joke.
why nobody enters? judges are photo stupid.
