'Compelling beach stories' was the summery challenge of the last contest.
To photograph compelling beach stories, focus on capturing the interaction of light, subject, and environment, rather than just the scenery. Utilize the golden hour for soft, warm light and experiment with different angles, focal points, and shutter speeds to create dynamic and engaging images.

The winners with the most votes are:
1st place : Luciano Caturegli
2nd place : Dieter Reichelt
3rd place : Paolo Bolla

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions.
Thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Compelling beach stories'

This contest will end on Sunday the 5th of October at midnight.
