Winner of the CEWE Photo Award 2021 photo competition

Overall winner & Landscapes category winner

Our World is beautiful - photographer Manfred Voss from Germany has best captured the beauty of our world with his outstanding photo "Frozen Lighthouse". The jury came to a clear conclusion, as this unique shot shows in an unrivalled way that even when the world is in flux, beauty emerges. The choice to shoot early in the morning in unique soft lighting, the wonderful variation in tone, the perfect crop using the classic golden ratio and the warm-yellow light from the lighthouse proudly contrasting with the otherwise icy-blue cool tones all combine to create the perfect shot. The photographer has elicited something very special from the scene and created this magical mood and quality we see in the photo. CEWE Photo Award juror Ulla Lohmann summed up the magic of this photograph: "It looks like something from a fairytale". With this extraordinary photograph, Manfred Voss from Germany was able to win not only the "Landscapes" category but ultimately also the overall victory.
