The Nikon Photo Contest International is one of the biggest and most prestigious photography contests in the world.
Last year they had over 47,000 entries, which you can imagine, made the judges jobs VERY difficult.
If you enter photo contests, you need to keep in touch with the types of photos the judges choose as winners. This helps YOU become a better judge of your own photography.
Always remember, that though there may be objective criteria for narrowing down the field, from 45,000 photos to the last 100 … in the end the photos are chosen subjectively by each of the judges.
It is interesting to get some of that insight from the judges …

And … here are the top 53 Award Winning Photos from the 2006-2007 Competition:
