Amri Arfianto, the Dubai native photographer, captured a dazzling image of Dubai‘s urban-scape that came in at first place in the Life in motion photography competition, organised by National geographic Abu Dhabi. The first place winner will get his photograph printed in National Geographic Al Arabiya Magazine in addition to photography equipment worth US$5000.

Firos Syed, from Qatar, came in second-place with a photograph of a man cycling through a puddle. Third-place winner was Reham Darwish, from Egypt, who photographed whirling “Tannoora“ Sufi dancers.

The competition received more than 80,000 entries from across the Middle East, more than twice the entries it received last year.
