It was an immensely tough job deciding the winner of Wessex Scene’s travel photo competition 2016. Every entry was picturesque and awoke great envy inside of me. I struggled so much to pin it down to just one photo, so instead; here is the top 10 photos entered this year – although even narrowing it to 10 was difficult. If these photos don’t make you itching to travel, then nothing will.
10) Costa Brava, Spain

9) Auki, Solomon Islands

8) Zambia, Africa

7) Boardmasters, Watergate Bay

6) Florence, Italy

5) Shoreditch, London

4) Tajmahal, India

3) Morne Blanc, Seychelles

2) Brooklyn Bridge, New York

Thank you to everyone who entered, but unfortunately there can only be one winner, and that winner is:
1) Komodo National Park, Indonesia

Congratulations to George Villars! I think we can all agree that this picture is quite incredible.
In reality everyone who entered a photo is a winner, since you’ve all been able to go to these breath-taking places to take such amazing photographs in the first place. If you want to write about your adventures and show off more of your photography skills then Wessex Scene travel section is always keen for content.
