AP's free monthly photo comp March '26 - The Great Outdoors - The winners!

Comments Comments

Congratulations to Sonja Bella and her image Orchestra of Colors, which has taken out our free monthly photo comp for March 2026. 

Sonja Bella, Orchestra of colors

What we love about this image is it brings something new to a scene we've seen photographed countless times before - this isn't easy to do, and although Milford Sound does present plenty of ways to capture Mitre peak, this is still a really lovely version of one of the iconic New Zealand scenes. 

Sonja wins a JetMag Pro Landscape ND Kit 82MAG Magnetic Filter Kit valued at $749 for taking out the Judge's choice.

We also chose three special mentions this month.
