World Open of Photography Highlights – Action Sports clean up

The World Open of Photography is an interesting competition open to photographers of all discpline world-wide. There were all kinds of judged and view-voted categories such as Nature, Street, Sports, etc, with some really incredible world on display. It was a bit overwheling actually, although these things usually are. There were a ton of action sports images in there and many took home awards, and not just in the Sports category.
