    We congratulates all participants!
    The quality and scope of the photos is tremendous!, and it was very difficult to narrow it down….let alone select a preference.
    OUTEX teams in Europe and USA are impressed and torn!
    Given the pandemic and our geographical locations, team members were able after some iterations to narrow down the selection to a consensual choice:
    .
    We now proceed to announce the images that the OUTEX jury has chosen as the three best:
    .
    🥇#1 OUTEX WINNER, Photo of the Year 2021
    🥇Xabier Garcia (SPAIN)
    Congratulations!
    “Between a Rock & a Hard Place”: An image that elicited much emotional reactions from our staff!
    this image seemed to capture so many attributes of canyoning: adventure, skill, knowledge, perseverance, teamwork, humanity, & beauty.
    While there are elements of photographic integrity that depict framing, composition, depth of field, shutter speed, and focus, the image ultimately illustrates humanity against the beauty, thrills, and challenges of nature at a particular point in time that’s metaphorical to what photography means in all of our lives.

    🥈Number 2!, Honorable Mention!!
    🥈Matthias Holzinger (SWITZERLAND)
    Congratulations!
    Amazing juxtaposition of elements coming together; water, rock, gravity, seemed like a great metaphor for the sport of canyoning.
    The framing and composition help create the magical illusion of walking on the rainbow, while capturing the backdrop against which the feat seems even more amazing.

    🥉Number 3!, Honorable Mention!!
    🥉Guillermo Sánchez (SPAIN)
    Congratulations!
    The photo captures much of the essence of canyoning, not to mention the complexities of photographing it in the process.
    Masterfully negotiating the elements, while maintaining depth of field, the backlight, and giving an unique perspective on the thrills & challenges of the sport.
