Reflective Puddle Wins Close-up Photographer of the Year’s ‘Something Beautiful’ Contest
An abstract reflection of trees in a puddle took home the win in the Close-Up Photographer of the Year (CUPOTY) “Something Beautiful” contest. This themed contest changes focus each year, with photographers given the directive to find beauty in the mundane for this year's edition. Photographer Linda Repasky took the theme to heart with her fascinating photo, which she took using an iPhone 16 Pro Max.
