There are people with amazing talents who can capture our beautiful place in the most amazing way. In respect to all these talents, the fifth annual Landscape Photographer of the Year competition winners have been announced, and they are spectacular.

There were 863 skillful photographers who shown the world 3000 gorgeous photographies. This made the judges have difficult time to narrow down eventual winners, but they have come to a conclusion. The overall photographer of the year, based on a folio submission of at least four nature images, was Adam Gibbs, from Canada.

 

“Looking at Adam Gibbs’ winning nature photography portfolio, we can see a diversity of views, an understanding of light and the expert use of framing and composition. From sandy aerials to icy mountain locations, Adam’s portfolio demonstrates a range of topics, an essential component when it comes to convincing our judges that you are the International Landscape Photographer of the Year.” the judges explained.

Adam’s outstanding talent touched the beautiful local area of Vancouver Island. “It is an exceptional place. The natural landscape is rugged, but not in your face and extremely challenging, especially the forests. I love it. However, other than the popular Canadian Rockies, the rest of British Columbia and Canada itself is highly underrated, in my opinion, as prime photo destinations for those seeking raw wilderness experiences.” Adam complimented his local area.

Winner of the prize for Landscape Photograph Of The Year, based on a single image, is Paul Marcellini, from the USA. Specializing in the beautiful nature views of Florida, Paul’s artistic shot of tree trunks creating an optical illusion in a swamp was simply stunning in its composition. “I seem to love every place I spend some time in, but it is the swamps of Florida that will always be my favorite habitat to explore. I enjoy the challenge of trying to organize the chaos. It is also a pretty strong bet that I will be the only one out there and the solitude is great!” Paul said.
