Every pixel in a picture has a story to tell and it is just something that remains intact in a frame, even after years pass. And, there’s a certain charm about pictures shot well. Those who have a keen eye for beautifully shot pictures, this post is perfect for you.
Each year National Geographic hosts Travel Photographer of the Year Contest. The 2017 leg of the contest is in the process. While the submissions for the contest were closed on June 30, the winners will be announced in the month of August. Teasing us in just the perfect way, handpicked entries have been released and we are simply awed by each shot.
