The photography app Agora held another photo competition, this time the theme was ‘Water’. Just like with the Wild 2020 competition, the winners were voted democratically, by the app’s users. The winners had a chance at winning prizes ranging from $1,000 to $25,000.
Water is one of the most serene and beautiful subjects for a nature photographer. “Water molecules are a blend of millions of years of history and have passed through many oceans, continents, and beings of all kinds. It has evolved from liquid to solid states countless times over the course of time,” said Octavi Royo, Agora’s CEO and co-founder.
Take a look at some of the finalist's submissions, and let yourself be swept to rivers, seas, and lakes all around the world.
