Very well deserved Aritz, congrats! :-)
Thanks soo much Philip!!
Nice work Aritz. Congratulations!
Thank you Brian!!!
The best photographer won! Congratulations Aritz!! Kevin Plovie was also a great contender to the title!
Lots of quality in the work of these photographers. well deserved.
Thanks Pedro.
You made my day
I really don't understand this. Also, before I saying anything else, this has NOTHING to do with the winner or any of the photogs that were in the running. Clearly every single photog that was in this lineup has an amazing grasp of their art. So, based on that, why the hell is the prize a tutorial? For real? This is like giving a professional baseball player a glove from Walmart Such a weird prize for such a great pool of photogs.
I mean, the "winning" by itself is pretty damn awesome, but the prize definitely doesn't match the accomplishment.
Also, am I seeing this correctly that I won the Hurley prize? Hmmm, how do I collect it lol.
I sent you a PM about your prize.
Just got it, and thank you very much. Completely unexpected.
i have to say i agree with Jeff here. Fstoppers has become one of the biggest photography websites worldwide. The quality of the competition is absurdly amazing. After a long year and with so many followers, a better prize should be awarded for this competition. And the winner should have lots of exposure.
I'm not criticizing in any point negatively. It's just that the quality of the photographers is way above the price granted and it would be logical and fair if the prize was way better.
Anyway, hat's off to fstoppers for a tremendous work over the years and for gathering such high quality work on a daily basis.
I visit this website daily and i expect to keep doing it for a long time!
Have a great 2020 everyone.
Congratz Aritz !!!! Love your work
Kevin

Congrats Aritz, well deserved! :-)
thanks a ton Alexander :)
Awesome work, and most of it posted here with a crop sensor X-T2. Nice!
Nicely done!
Beautiful photos. But, erm, isn’t the photographer who came last the one whom needs to prize? The winner definitely doesn’t.
Fstoppers has a lot of tutorials. You can't be a pro in landscape, portrait, architectural,...… By winning a tutorial you can expand your knowledge, beyond your borders ;)
