We have a #bmieditchallenge winner!

This weeks #bmieditchallenge saw the Instagram community create some truly stunning edits of the beautiful SchönBrunn Palace in Vienna. Submissions varied from the surreal, with sharks, windsurfers and ocean liners all appearing in the palace’s fountain as to some truly exquisite pieces of art. The competition was fierce this week, with the difference between first and second place being only 18 votes. However, it was Instagram user @Clarkey who came out victorious with the lovely edit below.
