Last week I went to a photo exhibition, that was held in one of the coolest exhibition rooms I know. Why cool? Because it's unusual.

This place used to be an underground garage, now it is an underground conference room and exhibition room as well. It's really out of the box place in my eyes and maybe that's why I like it so much.

There were more than 60 photographs exhibited this time, all of the participants at a photo exhibition and the good thing was, the winners were marked with a label.

Now, have you ever participated in a photo exhibition, with your own photo? I haven't and the chances to do it are slim to none, but even so, it makes me wonder what kind of photos would I select to submit. There were several categories as usual, so there are plenty you can choose from. Unfortunately my biggest enemy was present as well, making my life a living hell, so I did what I could under the circumstances. I will never understand why use glass for photos and why use glossy paper instead of matte. But then again, what do I know, right? I've always hated glossy paper for several reasons. Anyway, let's see what the jury has decided this time.

Kingdom of Ice

This photo was awarded with 1st place in the landscape photography category. It didn't say where was taken, but it is a good one for sure. I've never seen ice blocks floating on water in my life, so this is definitely something I'd like to experience once day and document it as well, take a bunch of photos, if possible.

Colors Of Iceland

A lifetime ago, before I registered on the legacy chain, there was another platform that I was part of and there was a guy from Iceland, he was posting similar photos and those were so cool. Iceland is on my list as well (yes, I know, my list is quite long), but till then, all I can do is admire these cool photos.

Foggy

This was one of the photos I loved it. There were quite many I loved, you can imagine, at this level, all the photos are great, but it depends on your preferences. I loved the snowy landscape and the fog. I think it's pretty rare as the two don't go together, but most likely there are exceptions. So I suppose capturing such a scene is a privilege.

The Bright Side

This was another exceptional photo in my eyes and got second place at the landscape photography category. The title is fantastic too. The Bright Side. We always say, look at the bright side, but look at that bright lane. What are the chances to catch such a scene? It's rare in my opinion. I love it! I suppose things are going to take a different turn in the near future. With the help of technology, more will be possible. We have drones to use today, so exploring a bigger area from above is not impossible anymore.

Winds

Brawl

Imagine this beauty hidden by the forest. You can only see its beauty from an aerial photo. Now with a drone, it's possible.

Autumn In Moon Valley

Quercus Pubescens

Looks like a simple photo, but for me it has a deep meaning. Scenes like this are rare, trust me. What you see on the photo is a very old chapel accompanied by a very old trees. Like old buddies. For the villagers, both are precious. Choosing monochrome was a smart decision.

Alcedo Atthis 1

Look at that bird, nose diving. This photo got 3rd place in the Wide Life category. It's not every day you can capture such a photo.

Alcedo Atthis 2

If you thought the previous photo was great, look at this. Same photographer, similar bird, in a different position. Imagine the wait, till you catch such a scene. Amazing!

Alcedo Atthis 3

Here's the 3rd one, just as amazing as the previous one, but unfortunately this was the only angle for me, to avoid reflections. I'm not really a bird photographer, but have a huge admiration for them. Hats off.

The Fisher King

Cute little birdie and some lovely colors as well, not to mention the lichen on the branch.

Fortius

The fight is real :) This photo got 1st place in the Wildlife category and I fully agree with the decision. It's a fantastic photo, a moment excellently captured.

Nature photography is nice, but it's not as easy as it seems. Wildlife photography is even harder. Lots of hours go into waiting and trying to capture some usable photos. I love watching them, but I don't think I have the necessary patience to be good at it.

I hope you have some favorites. You must have as these photos are top qualities. Not mine though, I mean the photos I photographed :) @dimascastillo90, I hope you like these 😃
