Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos showing nature in B&W for a chance to win a Sony alpha a5000. A special thanks to guest judge Chris Schmid. “My body of work is the result of learning from mistakes and by experience. Most of all, I seek, appreciate, and respect a solid critique. There is nothing more humbling (or inspiring) than hearing an honest opinion of my work from a friend or other photographers. Since August 2014, Chris is very proud to be part of the Sony Global Imaging Ambassador program.” – Chris Schmid Check out Chris Schmidt’s interview, you’ll learn and get inspired!
