What's Been Cooking At Light Stalking This Week

Photography has the power of lightening up our lives; and what a great thing it is to start our days by checking out some beautiful images in the comfort of our homes!

Here is our weekly wrap-up – you'll find finely curated photos from the general chit chat blended with some creative shots from Tersha's 585th challenge on Animals in Nature! And of course, we'll introduce some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum too!

And why not mention it, this particular challenge was especially crowded, and it was a beautiful joy picking the featured shots!

Words by Jasenka Grujin

There were amazing candidates this week and it was nearly impossible to do the justice and pick the winning image.
I decided to award POTW to @londavis because of the amazing color contrast and clean composition that makes the subject perfectly stand out.
The image is such a joy to look at – the combination of warm and cool tones is just gorgeous!
Congrats!

Here, you'll get your work critiqued by plenty of well-intended people, but you'll also have the chance of critiquing your peers. We truly believe in the power of criticism and feedback. Here are some of the most interesting shots shared during the last week:
