Fans, this is it!
Thank you for participating in the #ExploreEveryDetail editing contest and making it one of the biggest contests we've had in India on this Forum so far.
This was a keenly contested competition, with numerous entries that could have made it to the very top. In fact, the margins were so fine, our judges needed extra time to reach a consensus.
Without further ado, here are our 5 winners:
@saptorshi majumdar,
@Kuldeep Debnath,
@ram pravesh singh,
@ArunanSP, and
@praveenp
The winning entries:
Judges' comments: Love the interplay between white and black here, especially the reflection of the eyes and the metal bits of the jacket.
Judges' comments: Great use of colour manipulation - the orange and blue hues of the food items and the furniture complement each other really well.
Judges' comments: The eyes. We've seen many entries with a similar treatment - black and white or slightly sepia tones. But in this one, special attention has been given to the eyes. And that's what makes this one a winner.
Judges' comments: This beach scene was possibly the most difficult photo to edit, and the most difficult edit to judge! Ultimately, we've chosen this entry. The lighting looks just right. The night sky has the right temperature and illumination. The final winning entry isn't just one photo, but rather the entire portfolio submitted by
@praveenp!
Judges' comments: The sheer amount of effort and dedication displayed and the overall quality of the edits shared by this Fan makes him deserving of a place on the winners' list. There you have it. Congratulations, winners,
you've won yourselves a brand new Nokia 9 PureView! We'll get in touch with you shortly for the next steps.
While we have our winners, we would like to highlight the following names, too.
@samarth kukreti, @sainp7, @imadityaraut, @Deshik Nekkalapudi, @Ashik MA, @amal joe , @Andycool2025, @Kartik Gada, @thanoofnaina. Guys, you gave our judges plenty to think about.

Keep shooting and editing - maybe the next time your name comes out on top!
As ever, thank you, Fans, for your support, appreciation, and participation. Until next time, stay tuned.

We too tried our best but maybe next time.
@praveenp waiting to see images shot by your shiny new Nokia 9 PureView. Congrats bud.
Thank you a ton to all the judges who found me worthy enough to be one of the winners, and to all those who appreciated my entries here on the forum...
Hard work definitely pays off, lesson learnt...
It is indeed a dream come true for me...
The Nokia 9 PureView will give more impetus to my photography skills...
Many Congratulations to the co-winners for this amazing feat.
Thanks for the wishes...
Congratulations to all winner's 💐
Look out for some amazing photos with Nokia 9 purview 😍

The beach photo which won the prize can't be considered as an edit. It's photo manipulation. In contest rules it's stated that the pic should stay true to it after editing.
I'm sure that I deserve the prize.
Support me guys if you agree with me.
I was so excited to see the notification which read I am mentioned in the contest winners announced thread. To be honest, before opening the thread I thought I was one of the 5 winners. 😆 But I am not and I am not disappointed too.
There were hundreds or maybe thousands of photos to judge and they picked the best ones and also explained why they are unique and were chosen. We all can learn from this and improve our editing skills further. It gives us more ideas to think from a different perspective. Come on everyone cheer up and let's get ready for the next contest. Nokia has always helped build photography skills in different ways and they are still doing it. This time it was about editing and I am sure you all must have got many ideas by looking at the different entries. 🙂
thanks for the mention. thanks a lot, it will help me a lot to improve.👼👼🤗
thanks nokia
Just curious. What happens if the winners don't contact? 😅
I am myself checking my inbox, both on the email as well as on the forum, repeatedly. Others must also be doing the same...
This profiles and they haven't come online since July.
Has anybody got any type of information regarding this from @dipankar paul ?
Hope to get it before 26 September, so that I can click beautiful & stunning photos on my trip starting 27th September...
@dipankar paul
No communication or information regarding this even after more than 1 month have elapsed.
Even the winners of World Photography Contest organized globally much after this particular contest, have started to receive their prizes...
OK.
THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR IT... THAT'S HOW THINGS WORK...
Anyways... Thank you Nokia for at least finding my work worthy enough to impress the judges, if not rewarding it.
Will try my next level best in some another contest soon...
