January 2026 Photo Contest Winners: Rhythm and Repetition

We’re happy to announce the winner of January’s competition, “Rhythm And Repetition.” Kim captured this stunning photo of a Zebra with striking repetitive patterns and has composed the image in a way the focus is limited to the repeating patterns and the rhythm created as a result.

Congratulations on capturing a very effective Rhythm and Repetition photo Kim!
