the zebra one is cool…

I like the ones taken by a drone.. but they are always going to be pretty because it’s a unique view that we don’t usually get to see

I don’t see it as all that strange. I see it as WTF are all these people so deluded as to think they can win.

By the way, I recognised one of the prizewinning photographers. Ze takes every photograph the exact same way with the exact same camera, setup and background.

Some people just take pride in their photographs and want share with others, why you should want to reduce this form of self-fulfillment into something as simple crass ego gratification is IMO strange and also disturbing.
