Don't Miss Our Latest Community Update

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

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 611th challenge on Shoot at Eye Level! And as you might have guessed by now, some worth-seeing shots from the Feedback Forum as well!

Photo Of The Week – October 10th, 2022

Photo by Pat Garrett

Words by Jasenka Grujin

This week POTW goes to @patography and her terrific shot of a cow.
Black and white treatment suits the scene perfectly! The look in the cow’s eyes combined with this type of post-processing and simple dark background makes the image appear classic and timeless. I also like the human element here, it creates a powerful juxtaposition and adds to the emotional content of the shot.
Congrats, Pat.
