Photo of the Year

2015 Photo of the Year by Julian Montoya

'The edge of an exploding wave traces a nicely composed curve from the lower corner of the composition to the photo’s main point of interest, the lighthouse. Nothing is left to chance in a photo like this: Even the act of leaving the lighthouse partially obscured creates tension. No doubt that a great deal of patience and technical prowess was required to capture this moment.' - Ben Coffman, judge
