Photographer of the Day: Ken Mickel
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Ken Mickel Photo: “Untitled” While this is a photo of a truly beautiful flower, it was the quality of the light that held my eye. The subject is perfectly in focus, and the overall composition is well balanced. That warm light though keeps me coming back and evokes the feeling of standing in a sunny garden amongst those flowers. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Photographer of the Day: Ken Lee
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Ken Lee Photo: “When The Earth Reached Its Arms to the Heavens” What a great example of making the most of a cool opportunity! Be sure to check the caption of the photo back on Flickr for the backstory. Great use of wide angle lens, as the distortion of the earth works well in this context. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Photographer of the Day: Scott Thomas
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Scott Thomas Photo: “Marymere Falls” The smooth waterfall splits the photo in two, with the opposing sides well balanced against each other. There's a lot of great detail to feed the eye as it flows through the scene. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: fiore_lla4ever
Category: Outdoor Photographer: fiore_lla4ever Photo: “Non si può rinchiudere il cielo” Star trails around the north star with an interesting foreground catches me every time. I love the way these photos show the passage of time, the rotation of the earth, and the patience of the photographer to set up, shoot, and edit. These are not for the casual snap shooter.

Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Andrew Slater Photo: “Sand Access” Picture postcard perfect! The light and composition are spot on, and the sole figure walking down the shoreline is well placed to add both a visual point of interest, but also to bring the scene alive. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Jim Denham
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Jim Denham Photo: “SURPRISES FALLING” I love long exposure waterfalls where you can see through the surface of the water as it adds such depth (pun intended) to the photo. There's so much great detail for the eye to wander through the photo, and the low light adds a cool feeling of being deep within the forest. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Photographer of the Day: Cottage Days
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Cottage Days Photo: “bashful & cute black bear cub” Excellent detail and great expression on the cub are what caught my eye on this photo. It may have been taken at a wildlife sanctuary, but the way it was composed doesn't give anything about its surroundings away. The way it appears to be peeking around the tree gives it a playful feeling, which is well suited for the cub. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group. Join the group and share your … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Cottage Days
Photographer of the Day: Amaurie Ramirez
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Amaurie Ramirez Photo: “Hraunfossar Magic” I'm a sucker for photos of Iceland as it has long been on my bucket list, but this one stopped me in my tracks. The falling water is surely spectacular, but adding in both the foreground elements of grass and the stunning night sky just takes it all to another level. Iceland is truly a world of its own.

Photographer of the Day: Cinzio Farinelli
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Cinzio Farinelli Photo: “le langhe” This photo is a great example of what happens when great light and great angles come together in front of a photographer with an eye to capture it. The way the light hits the fence that splits the photo in two is simply perfect. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Ken Childress
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Ken Childress Photo: “Trail Ridge Road Milky Way_” The challenge for a compelling milkyway/star field shot is a good foreground. I love that Ken didn't let the light pollution from the city stop him from getting the shot! It almost has the feel of a day to night type of photo. The road makes for great leading lines into the night sky, and really ties it all together. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

Photographer of the Day: Amaurie Ramirez
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Amaurie Ramirez Photo: “Mighty Skogafoss” A powerful photo of a powerful landscape. I like the centering of the waterfall, and the way it looks as though the weight of the water is pulling the land down with it. This photo is also full of wonderful contrasts of light and dark, of smooth and rough textures, and vibrant and flat colors. All of this combining into a photo I keep coming back to discover more and more. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Amaurie Ramirez
Photographer of the Day: Karl Hassel
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Karl Hassel Photo: “The Crown Jewel........” I've always been fascinated by hummingbirds, and it is always a thrill to see one flitting between flowers in the garden. However, I've never been lucky enough to come upon a nest, so I was pleased to see this delightful capture of nest with two small beaks poking up for their meal. It is easy to see why they are so hard to spot with the most excellent camouflage and their tiny size. The green wash of color makes for a serene background to this little scene. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Karl Hassel
Photographer of the Day: Brandon Kopp
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Brandon Kopp Photo: “Old Man's Cave, Hocking Hills State Park, OH HDR” This wonderful photo has the feel of being captured on the set of "Lord of the Rings." Reading Brandon's description he explains that this photo was the result of finding the waterfalls dry and turning to another subject, the winding staircase. He goes on to explain that this was going to be a throwaway shot until he started doing some post processing and came upon a result he liked. It just goes to show that you can find unexpected … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Brandon Kopp
Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Andrew Slater Photo: “Crossing Paths” X marks the spot, and what a spot it is! The vibrant colors are what caught my eye at first, but the composition of the crossing walkways are what made me choose this for Photographer of the Day. What makes this such a winning photo in my view is the combination of stunning color, simplicity of scene and the rich meaning evoked by the concept of a crossroads. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group. Join the group … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Photographer of the Day: David Simon
Category: Outdoor Photographer: David Simon Photo: “Waterfall - Isle of Skye - Scotland” While I'm always a sucker for a good waterfall photo, it was the fantastic light that made me pause. Absolutely gorgeous! Technically perfect, wonderful colors, and razor sharp. Thanks for sharing with our group! 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.

Photographer of the Day: Joe_r
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Joe_r Photo: “White Rocks View” I've always been curious about infrared photography, but have yet to give it a try. It is photos like this that always pique my interest. I love the colors and the otherworldly feel it provides. Aside from the infrared aspect, I really love the composition and the view off into the distance. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared with the Photofocus Readers Flickr Group.

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! I love the use of a slow shutter to smooth out the water, and make it appear even more tranquil. The brown warmth of the ledge under the water provides a nice contrast.

Photographer of the Day: Martijn van der Nat
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Martijn van der Nat "Treebeard" What an amazing tree! I love the use of the starburst created by using a small aperture to really make this photo come alive. So warm and mysterious. Straight from Middle Earth. Thanks for sharing with our group. Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day.

Photographer of the Day: Christian Meermann
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Christian Meermann "Northern Carmine Bee-eater #2" An amazing portrait of this bird. The lighting and B&W treatment are just perfect, resulting in the perfect amount of contrast. The catchlight in the bird's eye brings the subject to life. Just fantastic!

Photographer of the Day: Plane Sight Images
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Plane Sight Images "Untitled" A perfect study of lines and texture, and ideally suited to B&W. The receding line of the fence into the distance carries the eye to the horizon, and the windblown texture in the sand brings it full circle to the fore. The darker sky provides an excellent contrast to the white sandy foreground. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here.

Photographer of the Day: Mayank Bhatnagar
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Mayank Bhatnagar "Untitled" I love the serenity and simplicity of this photo. The blades of grass breaking the mirror-like surface of the water adds the perfect contrast to the peaceful scene, and the reflection of the moon is icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day.

Photographer of the Day: Ken Childress
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Ken Childress "Mt Elbert Forebay Milky Way" I'm always a sucker for a good milky way photo, but throw in a reflection and make it a pano and you've got my attention. Great color, and such a treat for the eye. Would love to see this printed up large. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here.

Photographer of the Day: Peter Hickson
Category: Nature Photographer: Peter Hickson "Waves" I love the abstract nature of this shot! Great color, and made stronger by the contrasting wave action. The slower shutter adds a nice amount of blur and sense of movement. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. Here's how. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Peter Hickson
Photographer of the Day: Gary Radler
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Gary Radler "Gibbston Highway Bridge over Kawarau River near Arrowtown, NZ" There's a lot I love about this photo, such as the breathtaking vista, the way the winding road parallels the water, as they lead the eye into the photo, but I think the lone bus starting its trek at the edge of the frame is the element I love most. It makes me think about the people on the bus, where they are going, and how I can see the amazing sights that await them. It is a small thing, but it is often the small things that … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Gary Radler
Photographer of the Day: Allan Jones
Category: Nature Photographer: Allan Jones "Snowflake macro" I love snowflake macros because they represent how much patience and determination the photographer had to create them. It's also just really cool to see them up close. I like how the lone crystal stands out among the wash of white showing just how unique each snowflake is among the rest. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of the Day. Here's how. … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Allan Jones
Photographer of the Day: Phil Campbell
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Phil Campbell "Natural Tenderness" What a wonderful moment to capture so beautifully! It is always a thrill to see the vibrant red of the male cardinal at our feeders and in our yard. Typically, his mate is somewhere nearby. It is rare though, to see them interacting so sweetly, among snow-covered branches on such a bluebird sky of a day. Wow! Thanks for sharing with our group!
