It's that time of the year again when Sony announces the shortlist of the best photos competing in the biggest photography contest in the world. As always, these include best shots not only by professionals but by amateur photographers as well.
#1 Masayasu Sakuma, Japan (Open Competition, Nature)
Diamond-Dust. This picture was taken in February in Nagano-ken at an altitude of about 1,700 meters. In Japan, February is the coldest season in a year. Diamond dust can be seen only a few times during cold season. So, it took four years to make this work since I started taking diamond dust. Orange circle is diamond dust. Diamond dust usually looks white, but it turns into orange just for the morning sunrise. I expressed the diamond dust as a silent forest fairy
#2 Barry Tweed-Rycroft, United Kingdom (Open Competition, Architecture)
Reflections in puddles can make for the best photos, as this photographer has clearly shown. Very nicely done!
Rob Wilson, Canada (Open Competition, Travel)(3/253)
Francesco Russo, Italy (Open Competition, Nature)(4/253)
Beyond dreams. The plain of Castelluccio Landscape in flowering. Sibillini Mountains National Park, Italy.
