Now, the results are finally out. Apple has picked top pictures from contestants from China, India, Russia and Spain. Mumbai-based ace photographer Mitsun Soni is one among of them.

Soni used his Apple iPhone 11 Pro to capture the winning picture of a giant tree with red-hued shades and cosmic blue sky in the background.

“This one blows my mind. I have no idea where that deep rich red light is coming from on the tree. It almost feels like a UFO sitting above the tree, just out of frame. Absolutely beautiful composition as well,” Tyler Mitchell, one of the Apple's panel of judges said.

Another judge Arem Duplessis said-- “The rich red colour of the tree and ground gives this picture an otherworldly quality. Paired with the night sky, it feels like a still from a sci-fi film.”
