Cityscape definition from Wikipedia:

A cityscape is the urban equivalent of a landscape... In the visual arts a cityscape (urban landscape) is an artistic representation, such as a painting, drawing, print or photograph, of the physical aspects of a city or urban area.

For our Spring Photo contest, we teamed up with Tamron USA to bring you a photo contest inspired by the Urban landscape. Around 80% of the population of North America lives in or around an urban areas, and there has never been a time where more images of the world’s cities were being created.
