The Big Picture Travel Photo Competition Results

Thank you to everyone who entered our Big Picture competition last December – there are clearly some talented photographers amongst you – and it really created a debate in the office when it came down to judging!

There were three categories in which you could enter; natural beauty, food or culture. Each category winner won a Fire HD Tablet and the overall winner won a Nikon D3300 SLR camera.

I took this photo in Rajasthan, India whilst on a camel safari. I saw one of my friends with the camel and the amazing sunset behind.

It was taken at The Golden Temple, Amritsar, India. The Sikh guard was patrolling the perimeter of the Holy pool which surrounds the Golden Temple. I had to run ahead and wait for him to walk into shot which is why I’m particularly pleased with this capture.
