Sony World Photography Awards 2016 - Open Competition

I always feel intimidated by these competitions. My best photo(s) stand no chance. Amazing work is being submitted.

Another thought, these competitions are a completely different animal to stock photography . Its like the photos submitted to 1X. Staggering work.

(bear in mind I am not saying stock photos can't be amazing images)
