Our monthly Your Best Shot contest is getting bigger every month. This month's submissions were over 2,000, and many of them were fantastic. But, we need a finalist gallery, so here it is.

The result is a collection of great portraits, epic landscapes, macro shots, and a ton of other photographic experiments that worked incredibly.

Go through the gallery and get some inspiration. Then head over to our Contests page for a chance to show off your own work and win your own prizes.

The official winner of the September contest will be announced in an upcoming issue of the magazine.
