However, the winner is only one and that is for me picture posted by @itchyfeetdonica with the following entry:
Machu Picchu is a place that I was a bit reluctant to visit at first, simply because it's too famous. I was afraid to be drowned in the crowds just visiting an Inca citadel situated on a mountain ridge. But when I was there, I was totally amazed by how the extensive structures from 15th century sat in perfect harmony with the natural setting and the camelids. Especially when I stayed late till it's shrouded by mist, the whole place felt like a wonderful fairyland.

Gampong Jawa Is one of the places where fishermen do the activity of pulling nets. This location is also a place for photographers to look for the moment. How not, the sea which is 3km away from the center of Banda Aceh city and also facing directly with the Indian Ocean offers a million enchanting natural beauty.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #34 – winner announcement!
@jpphotography African Wednesday entry:
Sunrise in the Sahara. The sand dunes of the Moroccan Sahara are an amazing sight. The huge amounts of piled sand are everything but boring, since the strong winds and the sun constantly change the patterns and colours of the dunes.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #34 - winner announcement!
@ansharphoto European Thursday entry:
Two Towers, Bologna. This part of the city, built when Bologna was at the peak of its power and wealth, was once dotted with towers. In fact, one of Bologna’s many affectionate nicknames is “la turrita,” or the “city of many towers.” There were once hundreds of towers in the city; some were built for defensive purposes and many others built by powerful families, continually attempting to one-up each other.

Hi @czechglobalhost Congratulations to the winners of the competition.
You’ve heard this before. “That picture is beautiful.” That’s easy to say and hard to understand. Why? Because trying to describe “beautiful” is a real chore.
For me, to paraphrase an old expression, “Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder so to is art”. For me it doesn't matter what the medium is; painting, sculpture, music, dance, or even photography if my gut tells me it is Art then Art it is. Photographic technique and practices vary so much and it must make the idea of judging something, a number of photographs, so difficult.
My son is photographer, and He thinks that the difference between a photographer with his/her own style and one who shoots the shotgun approach is tied to being authentic. You can be convinced to think somebody else’s idea of meaningful is meaningful to you. But if that isn’t how you really feel, the lack of passion will hurt your ability to capture a truly beautiful image.
Have a nice Sunday. A hug
awesome place! happy traveling
