Pick of the pics: Our October monthly round up winner and runners up

To celebrate the stunning array of images submitted to the 2020 Open competition, every week we choose our favorite entries and showcase those images on the blog. Each month we select one lucky photographer who receives the Official 2019 Sony World Photography Awards book (worth £39.98) and a 20 Image Bundle (to enter more images into the Open competition). The two runners up receive a 10 image bundle.
