Dear Steemians!
I've been away from STEEM for few days, dealing with personal and not-so-personal stuff so please pardon my absence and here I am back now to make some of you very happy and the rest of you even eagerer to participate in my next contest and win some prizes and glory! :)))
It is of great pleasure to announce the successful completion of the Travel Photo Contest Edition #2
19 / nineteen participants sent their entries and I saw so many wonderful people, places and moments. So thank you very much all of you! @adyorka, @annepink, @conradsuperb, @dboontje, @fitinfun, @fotostef, @guchtere, @itchyfeetdonica, @kunschj, @manoldonchev, @maxili63, @soulsdetour, @soy.dinamita, @tixinhacapitinha, @trincowski, @trudeehunter, @volcandemorcilla, @whimsical-magic, @worldcapture
Now is the time to share with you that it was extremely difficult, again, to select the winners and it took me much more time to do that than I expected, again :)
So please visit the blogs of all the winners, IMHO they are all great artists, and give them some STEEM love by upvoting their works and following them ;) :P
Let me start with the easiest part, the random winner, where I used an online tool:
Congrats, @kunschj! You get the random participation prize!
I will be sending shortly 2 SBI shares in your name!
Rank #3, congrats, @manoldonchev, I think you've managed to capture here not only this guy at the perfect moment but also the rebel soul of the city!

Rank #2, congrats, @worldcapture, your photo really makes me wonder and eager to find out more about the situation and this mystery guy walking like he doesn't feel the rain at all.

And now.... the biggest winner... (DRUMROLL here)
Rank #1, congrats, @adyorka, a wonderfully captured moment, I have to admit I envy you for being there and feeling those warm emotions!
Here's a small surprise for you! I decided to reward two honorable mentions because there were so many great photos sent for this edition of the contest! I will reward those with 1 SBI share :)
Honorable mention #1
@guchtere, I enjoy the way you've expressed your feelings about the place and the people in it!

All winners, I will let you know by comment when I send the SBI shares in your names.
There will be a separate notification when our sponsor @o07 sends the SBI shares as well. His support is much appreciated!
Stay tuned, I will announce the next edition of the Travel Photo Contest soon.
Keep up the great work and STEEM on!

Whoa! Awesome! What an honor being that far up on that great contest! Thanks Damian @lightcaptured and thanks Manol @manoldonchev for the shares! Awesome!
Oh and you two should make sure to participate in the new week of my contest! Ha :D
Sure I will... Although, as long as I waited for it... I am still not ready with an entry :P
You're very much welcome and well deserved!
Thank you for reminding me and good to see your contest to its regular speed, I am, of course, participating! :P
@lightcaptured & @manoldonchev we could think about cooperating in the future and start something big related to photography/contests. How would that be?
That would be wonderful! Let's chat in Discord and come out with some ideas? :)
Dear winners, @adyorka, @worldcapture and @manoldonchev I almost forgot to let you know that yesterday your rewards have been transferred on behalf of our sponsor, @o07 :)
Thanks, @lightcaptured and @o07!
Muchas gracias!
Thanks! Highly appreciate it ! :))
Thanks for the surprise @lightcaptured really appreciated!🎁
Great selection you made there for the winners, and the moment I looked at the picture from @adyorka I did know we had a winner! Such a lively picture, that tells a whole story itself withou using any words. @worldcapture and @manoldonchev your pictures were stunning as well. Different types of scenery but both with lovely colors. And not to forget @manoldonchev great gesture of being a sponsor for this contest!
Looking forward to the next round @lightcaptured!
PS. I hope the personal stuff where some fun things you had to arrange?
Cheers buddy! Great capture from you as well!
Thanks! Looking forward to the next round :)
Thanks a lot! wonderful your photo!
True words and I totally agree with what you say ;)
Yes, I was relocating those days and I participated in an international photographic conference in Sofia, both exciting and challenging. A whole bunch of new ideas and energy. All sorted well, thank you :)
New energy is always a good sign, good to hear that! So I can look forward to a lot of interesting projects from you coming this year? ;)
What kind of conference you had there in Sofia?
True! I hope I'll have plenty of it and the time and resources to accomplish my plans and some of my dreams for 2019 ;)
This one below, it was indeed inspirational :)
I'm a member of the biggest photo society in Bulgaria and this was the first international photo conference organized by it:

Wow! What a great surprise! I love that you liked my photo; have been able to share a little of the happy moment of these children with you. Congratulations to all, thank you very much @lightcaptured!
My pleasure, it's totally deserved since you've managed to pass to me the emotion and the story as well! Speaking from experience, it is relatively easy to create a perfectly composed, exposed, colored, etc. image, however the most hard part always is to tell a story and pass an emotion!
Oh, I missed this contest.

Stay tuned for the next one, dear @olivia08, it should be coming in about a week or so ;)
Steem on!
