Peter Lik’s Winning Images

Hollywood Nights by Peter Lik — panoramic city lights over Los Angeles at twilight
Hollywood Nights — Silver Award

Los Angeles, California
After days of gray skies, twilight finally revealed Hollywood in all its glory. As city lights shimmered, I found the perfect angle where icons aligned — from Capitol Records to the Bronson Caves. In that fleeting moment, I felt the true heartbeat and history of Los Angeles unfold before me.

Scarlet Falls by Peter Lik — fiery autumn leaves framing a soft, cascading waterfall in Washington
Scarlet Falls — Silver Award

Gifford Pinchot, Washington
Amid the quiet forest, fiery leaves framed a cascading waterfall — motion meeting stillness in perfect harmony. Using a long exposure, the rushing water softened into silk. Time slowed, colors deepened, and nature’s calm revealed its most painterly form — where strength and serenity coexist.

Gotham by Peter Lik — dramatic Manhattan skyline with a break of light over the Empire State Building
Gotham — Bronze Award

Manhattan, New York
After weeks of searching, the skyline finally opened from high above the city. Clouds broke just as light crowned the Empire State Building — the ultimate reward for patience and persistence. Through glass and rain, I captured the pulse of New York, alive in steel, storm, and ambition.

Island Bliss by Peter Lik — tranquil sunrise over the Pacific with soft hues of gold and turquoise
Island Bliss — Bronze Award

Oahu, Hawaii
At sunrise, the horizon glowed with molten light over the still Pacific. Every tone — gold, turquoise, coral — seemed to blend into peace. In that moment between night and day, the island exhaled. Paradise revealed itself not in grandeur, but in pure, gentle simplicity.

Midsummer Dream by Peter Lik — calm Florida Keys waters under soft, clearing evening skies
Midsummer Dream — Bronze Award

Florida Keys, Florida
Days of storms tested my patience until calm finally returned. The wind stilled, clouds parted, and a soft glow kissed the water. As the last light reflected across the sea, I pressed the shutter — capturing that rare, perfect silence when nature and the soul are completely in sync.
