Lorenzo Mazzi
Oh boy, this is good. Everything about this entry screams super polished image. It's executed to 105 percent. The cloth works very well with stormy clouds. That feel like this design literally fits this place perfectly. It really connects to the nature around it. The colors, the composition, the lighting scenario, the highlights - everything is well curated here. There's something really beautiful and enjoyable about it.

2nd Place:
Aleksandar Fisik
This image is really beautiful and on many levels, from composition, the lines, the flowing flowers, this smooth color palette. Also for me, it's interesting to see the structures resembling these Chinese junk boats or a storage structure instead of a habitat. Very creative idea. It's like almost a perfect image, especially that it seems to be 100 percent CGI. It takes mastery to do an image like that.

3rd Place:
Gabriel Rodrigues
You can see there's a ton of work put into this image and whatever you look, there is some story. Images with a sci-fi vibe can sometimes feel disturbing, but this one is not that way at all. It seems safe. I really enjoyed the colors and lighting here. All the details are pretty curated and it all blends together really nicely. There is no part that feels rushed.

4th Place:
Sergei Chaschin
This image is just masterfully crafted. The play of colors - the reds and blues, really work well here. They're really nailed down in this image. If you brighten it up a bit you'll be able to appreciate all the details. Almost feel this freezing wind of the mountain pass. It really strucked me. It resonates with my childhood memories with this Last Airbender/Dragon Ball vibe, but at the same time feels fresh and timeless.
5th Place:
Alessando Colace
We all loved it. It's just 90 degree turn of the object, but suddenly it becomes something totally different. And the color play really hits all the marks for me. We really like this rediscovery of the structure. If this was a contest on which image stood out the most, I think hands down this one would crash it. This is really outstanding.Bonus: Everyone who entered the challenge received a 90 day Scene Manager license in Pulze that could claim after the challenge. Big thanks to the sponsors and media partners:
