Category: Portrait Photographer: thesrpspaintshop Photo: "Concentration" This aptly titled work exemplifies a portrait that stands up to its title and more. The light from the smartphone seems to add to the highlights on the man's face. His expression shows the intensity of his focus. A newspaper in the corner of the frame has other information.

Photographer of the Day: Rudy Pilarski
Category: Architecture Photographer: Rudy Pilarski Photo: “phylarmonie abstract” This highly abstract capture of a concert hall dares to viewer to deduce the actual structure, which does go contrary to what most architectural photography is normally about. However, the very strong angular shapes, and the reflections and details of the building are so very interesting. This is so fully featured and dramatic that it also begs the viewer to dwell on just what this building is all about!

Photographer of the Day: CampanellaFoto
Category: Celebrations Photographer: CampanellaFoto Photo: "AIK 1-2 IFK Göteborg (2015-10-26)" Sports celebrations are always fun to watch, and here, a soccer goalkeeper is captured as he celebrates a big win. The color here is great and pops against the blurry background, which really makes him stand out. Whether it's touchdown celebrations, championships or other victories, sports celebrations always bring out the best in players and their fans.

Photographer of the Day: Barbara Koester
Category: Street Photographer: Barbara Koester Photo: “Mummers” This image titled "Mummers" by Barbara Koester immediately caught my attention. The colors are incredible! I love that she said this about the image as well, "New Year in Philadelphia is the Mummers parade. Magnificent everyday people become Mummers on Broad Street for the New Year." How awesome is that? I think I need to make a trip. Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Barbara Elizabeth
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Barbara Elizabeth Photo: “Purple Lady Slipper” Finding a lady slipper in the forest is always like finding a rare jewel. Such an ornate burst of color sprouting from the forest floor in spring that never fails to make everyone stop and come take a look. This macro shot provides an awesome look at all its detail and color. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Ian Lewry
Category: Portrait Photographer: Ian Lewry Photo: "Sitting for a Street Artist in NYC" A portrait of a portraitist earns Ian Lewry the honor of Photographer of the Day. While the artist is not seen, this portrait has character, soul and hope as well. This composition tells its story completely without words. I ofter think "What will this photograph say if the photographer is not there to tell its story?" This work does not need Mr. Lewry's narration.

Photographer of the Day: BigPhilUK
Category: Architecture Photographer: BigPhilUK Photo: “Gherkins” While this is not what we “normally” consider an architectural photograph — meaning it’s not representing a building at the architect might have envisioned it — it does show what’s important about the genre. This building in its own right is a great and interesting structure, but in this view, it’s reflected in a neighboring building, making the presentation an amplification of its structure. It almost appears as if the Space Shuttle on its launchpad! Originally shared with the … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: BigPhilUK

Category: Celebrations Photographer: Roger Green Photo: "Graduation!" Graduation is one of the most exciting celebrations that can be had. It means the end of a journey in more ways than one.

Category: Street Photographer: Isengardt Photo: “Christmas Time” I know Christmas is over but I got a good laugh at this image by Isengardt.

Photographer of the Day: Kristian Bjornstad
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Kristian Bjornstad Photo: “Winter Wonderland 7” Living in the Northeast, I love this time of year. Bring on the snow! Nothing changes an ordinary scene into a magical wonderland like a fresh coat of snow. It changes the way things smell, sound, feel and look. Snow in the air can also do a great job of simplifying a cluttered background and making your subject stand out. This simple cluster of freshly frosted trees, alongside a road to nowhere is just about perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Photographer of the Day: Leigh Garner
Category: Architecture Photographer: Leigh Garner Photo: “Chicago Juxtapositions” There are times when the construct and design of a building has a direct influence on the structures that surround it! In this case, the canted portions of the exterior of the main building and its mirrored windows reflect light which dances upon its neighbors! Both the entertaining primary structure, coupled with the interesting buildings in the background and the reflections, all add to a powerful impact.

Photographer of the Day: Nelson Pereira
Category: Celebrations Photographer: Nelson Pereira Photo: "Fire works display welcomes 2013 in London" There's no better way to bring in the New Year than a giant fireworks display. While Times Square is known for its ball drop, confetti, auto-tuned entertainment and fireworks, other cities across the world hold their own celebrations. This 2.5-second exposure by Nelson Pereira is a perfect capture of the fireworks. But what makes this unique is the fireworks inside the ferris wheel. That's a one-of-a-kind display that really brings in … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Nelson Pereira

Category: Street Photographer: Raymond Clarke Photo: “Live, From New York” I went to New York for the first time ever in October. I attended PhotoPlus Expo, which was also a first for me and when I saw this image by Raymond Clarke I had a few thoughts.

Photographer of the Day: Don Komarechka
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Don Komarechka Photo: “Snowflake-a-Day No. 25” I've been a big fan of Don's work for some time, and I had the pleasure of meeting him in person last summer. He's just as generous with his knowledge in person as he is online. With the official start to winter here in the Northern Hemisphere, this seemed like the perfect photo to bring in the new year.

Photographer of the Day: Robertino Radovix
Category: Portrait Photographer: Robertino Radovix Photo: "Studentessa Indiana" It is said that "the eyes are the windows to the soul". These eyes are cautious, neutral and aware. The simple window light falls off to darkness in the background but not before revealing fingers holding the cloth covering the mouth and nose. This student is from Kashmir, India. The location adds to her story. Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: mjhedge
Category: Architecture Photographer: mjhedge Photo: “Bridgeton Trusses” Architectural photography is not always about a building. In this case, it’s about the building structure of a bridge. The curved beams that support the weight, and the trusses that support the roof are all contributions to the essence of its design, and the elegance of its symmetry is nicely framed in this dramatic B&W image.

Photographer of the Day: Joe
Category: Snow Photographer: Joe Photo: "Soldiers in the Fog" There's something very powerful about this photograph. The snowy mountains and trees, encompassed by a dense fog, just make for a very surreal capture. The black and white treatment on this is perfect. The title of this image has me thinking about wars during the winter season, with soldiers hiking through the mountains. When a photo tells a story — real or not — you know you've got a winner.

Photographer of the Day: Allan Jones
Category: Beauty Photographer: Allan Jones Photo: "Emily Hardisty" A soft, almost painterly portrait of Emily Hardisty earns Alan Jones today's honor.

Category: Architecture Photographer: jeff Clouet Photo: “Alone at the cité des sciences” This simple image is another great example of the imaginative use of shape and suggestion in architectural photography. The cube above the lone person in the image is the perfect fit for the square door; almost as if it’s simply been relocated to allow entrance. The sun’s shadow allows us, the viewer, to see a perfect shadow addition both the realization of its three-dimensional reality, as well as another wonderful shape to ponder. Lastly, the lone … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: jeff Clouet
