A cinematic and sun-drenched images with equal parts serenity and stoke invokes the spirit of outdoor adventure.
The simple childhood pleasure of the beach. This image captures that serenity in the purest form of adventure - a bucket, sand, and a world of imagination.
The composition is delightfully sparse, with the vibrant red of the umbrella and bucket highlighted against the muted blue tones of the sky and sand.
The gentle splash of the boy’s footsteps, reflected in the shallow water, gives me that feeling of the joy of summer.
There's a nostalgic, almost painterly calm, a classic, cozy warmth of a distant, loving memory.
This photograph reminds me that connection to the outdoors doesn’t always come with grandeur — it often begins with play.
A breathtaking aerial composition, this image captures the raw power and sublime beauty of the ocean mid-roar.
The lone surfer, dwarfed by the swell, becomes tip of the earth's flow—dancing on the edge with grace and precision. The texture and shape of the wave is just beautiful, from the frothy white to deep turquoise.
There’s a quiet majesty here, but also intimacy— it's adventure and skill playing amongst nature’s untamed rhythm. With timing, perspective, art and energy, this image is not just a photograph—it’s a rush of the wild.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** What greater joy than getting out from behind our screens and getting into nature. We walk, run and cycle its paths, paraglide high above it, paddle and swim its waters, and climb its craggy faces. Outdoor and adventure photography is often enjoyed by the same folk who have that love for the outdoors, and is a reason itself to get out and breath the fresh air.
