This shot captures an incredible panorama of Cappadocia that is literally breathtaking.

For such a striking work, the winner received a transparent statuette and, to put it mildly, a handsome gift – photography equipment worth a whopping half a million euros.

The competition offered nine categories, ranging from urban landscapes and wildlife to sports, people, nature, abstracts, wedding shots, drone videos, and even themed series.

Interestingly, despite the name, participants weren't limited to drones. Photos taken from airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, airships, rockets, kites, and even parachutes were also accepted. Such a diverse range of creative horizons.

The results were truly captivating, and the winner a true master of their craft.
