Photo Of The Week – April 26th, 2021

Photo by Rose Marie

Words by Jasenka Grujin

This time POTW goes to @rgatscha and her colorful shot of a clothesline in India.
The image looks joyful, fresh and tropical – it made me smile immediately and it made me miss traveling to faraway places even more than usual!
The chaotic composition and warm pink tones surrounded by lush green look so uplifting that this image is the perfect example of how colors and powerful color combinations can affect our mood instantly.
Congrats, Rose Marie.

Certainly, this shot quite resembles the prime color palette in a slight way, and also the composition is brilliant. Composing within a 1:1 ratio is always a challenge, and here we have a good example of how's done right!

*Stunning vibrant colors! And despite being a hand-held shot, it is sufficiently sharp.*

*There's such a nice vibe in this shot that it feels somewhat surreal, great contrast of hot and cold, and also of cool and warm tones!*

We'd Love To Hear Your Thoughts

Also, our Feedback Forum received some nice photographs and is clear that some of you have started building a solid photography style. This is the right place for all those people that want to grow fast as photographers. This is possible thanks to valuable and positive feedback, which is perhaps the best way in which someone can hack the learning curve in photography.

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. Many of our members have nurtured their own photographic knowledge by giving out elaborate critiques that go way beyond simple emoji-based reactions or “nice shot” comments. Here are some of the most interesting shots shared during the last week:

The Shark Tank is a great place to learn and to discuss, so please read the instructions in order to get a better critique experience. Share your comments, opinions, and doubts on any or all of the images above. We also will be delighted to see some of your own images. Don't be shy, critiques are given to photographs and not photographers. We'll be more than pleased to help you out; after all, we all are in love with photography. Also, don't forget to participate in our 536th challenge on Selective Colour Saturation!
