Luxury Travel Contest Winner
From an infinity pool with a view to a heli skiing trip, nothing gets our hearts racing like the promise of a luxury vacation getaway—if money or time were no object, that is. So we thought it’d be fun to have Luxury Travel (Bonus points if there is a person or people in the shot) be our photo challenge in last week’s contest. It also happens to be a popular buyer request for our commercial stock photo licensing platform, 500px Prime. The contest is now closed, and we received more than 760 photo submissions. Thank you to everyone who participated. To view all the images, you can visit our contest gallery.
As a prize, we’re giving away this awesome Airport Roller Derby bag to one winning photo. This must-have rolling camera bag for traveling photographers is courtesy of Think Tank Photo.
Congrats, Hannes Cmarits, you are the winner of the contest for your “beautiful above and below II” entry! Aside from the composition and serene mood, we really like how this dreamy image, shot in Maldives, captured a kind of getaway where you have the luxury of wandering two worlds. Right from your vacation hut overlooking the ocean, all you have to do is dive in to be transported to an entirely different experience underwater.
