Winners of the Sony World Photography Contest were announced last month and finalists this month. Several publications have assembled extensive galleries of the top photographs in a variety of categories. These two appealed to me immediately, but there are many more to see, with something for everyone.
These are a few that caught my eye. Be sure to see the links at the end for many more winners.

Most impressive. Thanks. These remind me that digital photography has become a mature technology. The art of taking photos is no longer limited by the cost of film – that has to have some impact on the quality, one would think, and the resolution of computer screens appears as good as printing. Who would have thought it a decade or two ago? What an age we are living in!
I’ve never forgotten the summer I came up here for vacation with a new AE-1 camera. Finally I was going to get some great pictures. They were so-so. But the film and later processing cost more than the rest of the vacation. I don’t know if a spiffy new digital SLR would rekindle my love of photography, but I can’t afford to find out. I now focus on being in the moment and preserving the images on the emulsion of my mind.

LOVE this one. https://www.worldphoto.org/sony-world-photography-awards/winners-galleries/2018/national-awards/winners/2018-national-awards#&gid=1&pid=2
There are so many to love! I originally posted only three, but then went back and had to add the waves after I read the photographer’s comment.
Jaw dropping! So much beauty!
