Dreams can be magical and fairytale-like — vivid, fantastical, and filled with emotionally charged images. We don\'t know where they truly come from. Scientifically, it seems to be explained, but in reality, it remains uncharted territory.
Perhaps... in reality, we are the ones sleeping? And in our dreams, we wake up in a magical world where everything is real... Maybe?
I stood there, lungs burning, legs shaking, and the whole world dropped away beneath my feet.
Just one small silhouette against an ocean of stone and silence. The mist rolled through the valleys like forgotten dreams, and the peaks stood guard — ancient, indifferent, perfect. In that moment I wasn’t conquering anything. I was finally, completely, home.
A dynamic black and white street capture that freezes a raw moment of urban nature. The focal point is a seagull midcall, its expressive posture juxtaposed against the historic backdrop of Riga\\\'s Spīķeri district. This shot celebrates the spontaneous and often noisy life that inhabits our city spaces, even in the dead of winter.
Latvija, Kuldīgas vecpilsēta. Pilsētas vidum cauri, jau gadsimtiem ilgi, dodas mazā Alekšupīte, ēku pamatos atstājot savas pēdas. Vietējie šo upi izmanto arī biznesam - tālumā redzams uz upes izbūvēts pamats āra kefejnīcai.
Where water meets the sky, and architecture meets a dream. The City of Arts and Sciences at night is a breathtaking sight. A feeling as if you are on another planet.
– 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.
