Photo Of The Week – October 28th, 2019

Grunge – Photo by Elin L

This is frankly a glorious photo of the week and most definitely a worthy winner. Here is what Kent DuFault had to say about it…

You’all are submitting too many fantastic pictures. I can’t pick. No POTW this week!

——————————-

(Just kidding! I have to pick one) Seriously though, I can’t even do a runner-up list there are just too many amazing shots this week.

The POTW goes to Elin for her detailed character study and perfectly executed photograph titled, “Grunge”.

Would one doubt it, if they were told that this photograph was taken by the most recognized staff photographer over at National Geographic Magazine?

Nope.

It’s that good.

It’s a special shot and most certainly worthy of praise here and anywhere else she would like to display it. (Hint. Hint. Award winner Elin!)

I’m sorry to all of the others who uploaded amazing work this past week (specifically but not limited to: Rob Eyers, Chris Pook, Graham Hart, Tom, and Diane (aka Tersha).

It was very tight coming to this decision.

Thank you so much, Elin, for showing us this beautiful photograph. What a pleasure.

Mushrooms have an intriguing and even beautiful texture, and the way these are stacked make them feel kind of syncopated in a way.

Oldie but goldie, amazing color on this one! It looks almost like a sea-creature although is a Pachyveria plant according to Graham.

Rust and peeling paint always make a great photograph, it is always unique and requires a curious eye to spot. It is interesting how clean the gauge's inner component looks against the texture.

Such a gentle form and object, and the way light hits it makes every bit of texture pop right away!

Not your usual texture close-up, but the rhythm in this photo, plus the light and texture make it a beautiful and visually appealing piece.

This looks almost like a carefully crafted gold pendant, and the light Diane picked for this is simply stunning.

Simple yet beautiful, glaciers are one of nature's wonders everyone deserves to watch, hopefully, we manage to preserve them for a long time…

We simply can't get enough of lovely mushrooms, just look at that delicate texture on these blue oyster mushrooms.
