The photo was taken in November 2024 in the Algerian desert. It captures the winding sand formations and the golden light that highlights the texture details and the contrast between shadows and highlights.
Within the perfect circle of Oran’s bullring, silence replaces spectacle. The arena stands empty, yet heavy with memory a space where echoes of the past linger beneath a dramatic sky.
The stones are eroded by the elements of time, and bear witness to the greatness and lost beauty of the past. The image clearly shows the reflection of the arc and the sky in a stagnant pool of water, as if it were a mirror reflecting a division between two worlds : the world of the glorious past and the deserted world of the present.
A serene landscape shot of a calm lake reflecting the surrounding hills and sky, as soft sunset light gently touches the water. The balance between light and shadow creates a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere with rich depth and harmony.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наивысшим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
