Wojciech Kruczynski from Piastow Poland
Wojciech Kruczynski from Piastow Poland
I am an amateur landscape photographer from Poland, also known as Swen Stroop. My favorite places to take my pictures is Iceland, Scotland and Norway (especially the Hebrides and Lofoten Islands). I always spend my vacations in these locations, on feet with backpack or on my bicycle, struggling with rain, cold wind and ugly midges. I can't imagine something more beautiful and pleasant than this.

Fly Geyser BY Deryk Baumgärtner
Our Second Place Winner was submitted by
Deryk Baumgärtner from Cologne Germany
I’am a travel and landscape photographer. I’am based in Cologne / Germany and my journey into photography actually started way before I ever picked up a camera. I was actually always into art and drawing and that’s pretty much what I was focused on throughout school. As a photographer I love the challenge of trying to include just enough subjects into the frame to plant a seed of a story and then make the viewer to imagine the rest. I want my viewers to feel like they are right in the middle of the scene.

Luminosity by Craig Bill
Our Third Place Winner was submitted by
Craig Bill from Austin Texas
My name is Craig Bill and I am a landscape photographer residing in Austin, Texas. Photography, I feel in my life, has always seemed a relevant and appropriate tool for expression - especially for our planet. Technological advances in this industry not only allow me to appreciate and utilize past techniques, but embrace the future of photographic science... one without limitations. I do enjoy being part of the entire artistic process from travel and capture to printing and fashioning artworks. “Painting or drawing with light”, a literal definition of photography, does not seem to grasp the entire concept as it applies to this art. Rather, maybe, the endless waiting, driving, freezing, and starving might convey a better picture sometimes... all for seeking and capturing fleeting atmosphere, light and land - tiny moments in time and space. Using different tools of cameras, filters, time, light, space and patience I hope to share images that we may not easily or not at all experience directly, but are there - waiting to be discovered.
