TITLE: Peaceful

Shot in Ontario, Canada, February 2022.
There are many beautiful and amazing horse farms in southern Ontario, Canada. With their traditional architecture, sleek fences, rolling terrain, and winding trails, these horse farms transform from an agricultural base into a scenic park, especially in the fall and winter.
In early February 2022, southern Ontario was hit by the worst snowfall in decades. I captured this photo of a horse farm, which was turned into a winter wonderland by the snowstorm. "It looks so peaceful".

AUTHOR: Zhenhuan Zhou (Canada)

As a photographer, I'm based in Toronto Canada.
My connection to the camera began from a very young age. There were days when I would capture the world around my tirelessly, but adulthood and professional responsibilities meant my passion took a backseat.
However, 2013 marked a significant year for me. Upon relocating to Canada, I rediscovered the world of photography, albeit initially during family trips. It wasn’t until 2019 that I embarked on a more structured journey into the realm of photography, diving deeply into post-processing techniques.
The COVID-19 pandemic, despite its many challenges, presented me with a silver lining. The ample time at my disposal allowed for rigorous study and practice. Over these years, I fine-tuned my skills and honed my craft.
Such dedication and perseverance bore fruit, and I found recognition in several renowned international photography contests. My work has been acclaimed in a plethora of categories, spanning from motion to monochrome, and has clinched top spots in numerous contests.
