Not bad for a phone snap… This picture of a mountaineer alone in the landscape saw Julio Lucas, from Florida, beat thousands of people from more than 17 countries to be named iPhone Photographer of the Year.
Running since 2007, the iPhone Photography awards – which have no connection to Apple – have 16 categories: Animals, Architecture, Children, Flowers, Food, Landscape, Lifestyle, Nature, News/Events, Others, People, Seasons, Still Life, Sunset, Travel and Trees. Anyone with an iPhone can enter to be in with a chance of winning one of 16 gold bars and three iPads on offer as prizes.
