A few days ago we posted the winning photos in Perceptive Travel’s Remarkable Photo Contest. We do this each year but I was astounded by the overall quality of what we received this time. There were 40 or so photos that wouldn’t have looked out of place framed in a gallery. The three judges had their work cut out for them in choosing the winners, so we had more honorable mentions than ever before.
What was really amazing was that we got entries from 19 countries and the top two winners were both from Kolkatta (Calcutta) India. Maybe it’s a natural conclusion of the movie Born Into Brothels . (Rent it if you haven’t seen it—great story.)
I’ve only posted the winning photo here, by Sudip Roychoudhury. Go check out all the winners and the honorable mentions . Striking images all of them.
