We regularly bring you interesting topics and photography tips from around the world of photography. We’ve decided that it’s time to give you a chance to showcase your skills to the world. In our first challenge, we selected a travel-themed topic: Castles and Palaces.

We received dozens of breathtaking shots from our readers. We were pleasantly surprised by how many of you were motivated by our challenge to share your unique perspectives on the world around you with fellow photographers and potential clients. To all our readers who submitted their photos to the competition, we extend our heartfelt thanks. We carefully reviewed all the submissions and in the editorial office, we’ve selected the top 10.
