Category: Astrophotography Photographer: Nic Taylor Photo: “Plas Curig” I really like Nic's usage of putting a tree in the foreground of this shot. While the night sky is impressive, the lit tree is what really brings it all together, especially in terms of bringing in a new color to the scene. There's so much to look at here, and it creates a great overall nightscape. Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Phil Campbell
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Phil Campbell Photo: “All in a Row” Simplicity and tranquility. I love the line formed by the family, with the symmetry of the adult geese at the front and back of the line. The mist in the air helps to separate the geese from the background, as well as add another element of interest to the scene. The gentle touch of light across the necks of the goslings is the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Category: Astrophotography Photographer: Michael Hoffman Photo: “Night Light” Michael's photograph, taken at East Point Lighthouse in Heislerville, NJ, is a beautifully composed image.

Photographer of the Day: Jeff Goldberg
Category: Beauty Photographer: Jeff Goldberg Photo: Abby in the Park 2 This is a classic theme in the art of beauty. A woman in a light colored flowered dress with a train stands in a serene meadow. She looks down and away, lost in thought. The contrasting colors of her outfit against the verdant forest bring her to the front of the composition.

Photographer of the Day: Ken Lee
Category: Astrophotography Photographer: Ken Lee Photo: “Red Menace” Ken captures a one-of-a-kind astrophotography image here, taken from inside an old military vehicle at a decommissioned World War II airfield.

Photographer of the Day: Donna Martin
Category: Nature Photographer: Donna Martin Photo: “Beautiful Cascade” Ah, time for a break by a cool and refreshing stream. Just looking at it makes me thirsty!

Photographer of the Day: Kristian Bjornstad
Category: Beauty Photographer: Kristian Bjornstad Photo: Philadelphia 1 This is a very well styled portrait that is a casual catch at first glance. Look closer. See the hatband that matches her hair? The pinstripes in her jacket do too. The blue background makes the lady stand out as a good portrait must. This one is very well done indeed.

Photographer of the Day: Anna Savino
Category: Travel Photographer: Anna Savino - "Vulci" I love the softness of the light in this and the way the wooden railing leads me into the image to the castle and across the bridge. The colors in the railing also reflected in the bridge and the rocks along the water complete the trip through this lovely scene. Originally shared in the Photofocus Community on Google+ here.

Photographer of the Day: Monty McKinnen
Category: Beauty Photographer: Monty McKinnen "OPOA5112" Beauty, while often thought of as the realm of women, this image shows the beauty of a young man wearing amazingly beautiful ink. The butterfly whose wings wrap his neck, the owl returning from the hunt on his chest, the roses and Wonder Woman on one are with Batman, Batgirl in Gotham, and Superman on the other arm surround him in beauty too. The simple pose and natural light against the almost completely dark background make the subject and his art compelling.

Photographer of the Day: Michael Berg
Category: Travel Photographer: Michael Berg - "Corporativo Citibanamex" As I was scrolling through images looking for this week’s Travel photo of the day this one made me stop and look again. At first, I thought it was a looking up perspective, then I thought maybe it was a mirror image shot or even a created mirror image. I love images that make you stop and think. This is a great example of that and it’s pushed me to do some investigating to find out who the architect is.

Photographer of the Day: Bernhard Garbers
Category: Beauty Photographer: Bernhard Garbers "Anime" Anime, Japanese for animation, dates back to 1917. It has become known as a style of realistic, though, cartoonlike storytelling. The photograph "Anime" lives up to this by making us wonder what the organ grinding character is about. The colors are rich, her makeup is edgy and the background is nondescript. The elements all add up to make a story. What story enters your mind? Originally posted to the Photofocus Flickr group here.

Photographer of the Day: Kurt Kramer
Category: Street Photographer: Kurt Kramer "Orange/Yellow (57042)" I'm plenty used to seeing the scenes beneath the Chicago train tracks, but Kurt seems to do a spectacular job at capturing and framing his subject. By framing her in-between the columns, there's enough contrast to make the woman walking stand out amongst the pavement. The composition here is perfect, and the woman's orange outfit just adds to the stellar scene. Originally shared with the Photofocus Flickr group right here.

Category: Beauty Photographer: Foteini Zaglara "Catharsis" Wet hair, running water, closed eyes.

Photographer of the Day: Michael Hoffman
Category: Travel Photographer: Michael Hoffman - "A. J. Meerwald" The light on the sails of this tall ship caught my eye. The black and white conversion is perfect for this to limit the distractions of all the buildings and activity on the shoreline and it also helps to make the shape of the sails and tall ship more distinct to separate it from the background. This is also a great reminder to travel in your own backyard. The A. J. Meerwald is the state ship of New Jersey where Michael is from.
