by Emmanuel Coupe, an aerial view of an Icelandic river delta

..these are amazing photos and paintings, Zee..I especially like this Icelandic delta view and the Philippines one which looks quite futuristic with the devastation of the typhoon, you just can't imagine how terrifying that must be...

All of them are photos! Cannot believe it, some of them really look like paintings. They're all finalists in the Sony World Photography Awards 2014, can view more entries at http://worldphoto.org/ :)

..oh yeah, I misread that, I thought that one was a painting..what incredible talent to be able to catch a split second shot like some of those...just think that if that was the type of photography that your mum had chosen to do, you could have been roaming with the buffalos ..:amazed:..(I've stolen the link and saved it btw...)..I'll look through them all tomorrow when I'm a little less tired ...
