Thank you all for the amazing trip round the world to some spectacular locations.
This was tough and there was so many potential winners with high quality images.
The theme has got me thinking of visiting many places or sheer beauty!
I have firstly shown picked some images that came very close and the artists should be commended for their imagery through the lens.
COMMENDED: the mood captured in this image of New Orleans Jackson Square by BUDOHIO is superb!

And finally my top three images.
The wonderful thing about photography is everyone views something different in an image and everyone would have a different top three.
These are the images that caught my imagination!
3rd Place - Madrid – This picture by MONKEYPAINTER just stuck with me as soon as I saw it! Images of landscapes & cityscapes
can capture the beauty of a place but it takes a very special picture to capture the mood and romance of a location.
Special mention for a very strong trio of images entered!
2nd Place – Pure beauty! What can I say that the picture doesn’t say for itself, strong composition, great lighting and a sublime sky.
A real sense of tranquillity and peacefulness in this shot of New Zealand by BODEKJOLA.
A special mention also for a very strong trio of images
THE WINNER in 1st Place – This image simply mesmerises me and I can’t help having another look.
For the great outdoors and natures beauty what could be a better advert?
Rolling hills and a moody sky perfectly captured and framed against a stark tree!
Congratulations to BARTOSZKOTULSKI for capturing this masterpiece of Connemara National Park, Ireland.
