Category: Outdoor Photographer: Renato Greco Photo: "Macaone" I love the rich, fall tones of this and how the butterfly colors pull from the background.

Photographer of the Day: Davide Gabino
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Davide Gabinol Photo: "Un piede nella natura" This image stopped me in my tracks. It grabbed my inner child and took me right back to laying in the grass in the summer. I can feel the warmth of the sun and smell the fresh summer air just by looking at this shot. It's a simple shot, but the emotion, warmth and sense of place is just pouring from it, well done. Thank you for sharing your image with us.

Photographer of the Day: Allan Jones
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Allan Jones Photographer Photo: "Pelican" What timing! Captured at just the right moment with not only the fish in the air but the wings spread and the push through the water are all spot on.

Photographer of the Day: Phil Campbell
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Phil Campbell Photo: "Frosty Bur" What a fantastic 3-dimensional image. The frost just pops on this plant and the soft blue background is the perfect wintery setting.

Photographer of the Day: Stefano Cerchiaro
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Stefano Cerchiaro Photo: "Minimal" I love the simplicity of this, the tones, the space left around the tree within the image and the contrast.

Photographer of the Day: iLOVEnature Photography
Category: Outdoor Photographer: iLOVEnature Photography Photo: "Winter Sunset Silhouettes Nature's Inspiration" Such beautiful details in this foxtail at sunset. It's really amazing to see the shapes within the stalk. I also love the gradation of warm to cool from corner to corner in this. A wonderful reminder to pay attention to the smaller picture, it's not always about the epic sunset. Thank you iLOVEnature Photography for sharing your image with us.

Photographer of the Day: Hani Bader
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Hani Bader Photo: "Underwater" The first thing that made me stop and look at this image was the color. The bright blue with the red/orange plant just pop. Secondly, the shape of the plant makes me feel and see the motion of the water moving it around and waving toward the divers. The silhouettes of the divers add just a little bit more interest and make this image something different. It would be beautiful without as well but the divers give the whole image context. Thank you Hani for sharing your image with … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Hani Bader

Category: Outdoor Photographer: Wade Brooks Photo: "Taking Time Just For Me" I love the light and shadows in this image. I can hear the peace and quiet of the leaves rustling.

Photographer of the Day: Joe
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Joe Photo: "Trees Through the Mist" Oh so moody. The symmetry created by the reflection makes this even more mysterious as if you can't tell up from down. Images like this remind us that there is no bad light, no bad weather and that it's always good to get out and shoot no matter what. Thank you for sharing with our group.

Editor's Note: We'd like to welcome Lauri Novak back to Photographer of the Day, who will be curating the Outdoor category. Thank you to Rob Sylvan for all your hard work! Category: Outdoor Photographer: Kurt Kramer Photo: "South from Montrose Harbor to Chicago Skyline" One of my favorite, not seen enough views of Chicago and early morning is the best time for this as you can see in this image. The light makes the city so soft and I love the ice in the water creating lines to lead us into the light and color of the sunrise. Good morning … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Kurt Kramer
Photographer of the Day: Ken Rowland
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Ken Rowland Photo: “Snake River View” Such a classic view of Grand Teton National Park. Certainly made famous by Ansel Adams, but also surely by the grandeur of simply standing in that spot and looking out over the Snake River and thinking about how many people carry the memory of standing there and feeling the awesomeness that comes with the experience. I appreciate being transported back to my visits there, and appreciate you sharing this with our group!

Photographer of the Day: Jeff Newton
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Jeff Newton Photo: “From sunlight into the dark” I love silhouettes of birds in flight, as the photo becomes more about shape than the bird. I also like the context of them sailing across the sky as it transitions from day to night. The line of bird shapes conjures images of migrations and changes in season and time passing. All of these elements add meaning to the photo, and give me pause as I look through all the photos contributed to our pool on Flickr. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Jeff Newton

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. Thanks for sharing with … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Kristian Bjornstad
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.

Category: Outdoor Photographer: Matt Cuda Photo: “Great Blue Heron” Wow! What a moment!

Photographer of the Day: Melinda G
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Melinda G Photo: “[Insert Hallelujah Chorus here]” A perfect moment frozen in time! I love the symmetry of the wings, the colors, and even the water droplets.

Photographer of the Day: Peter Hickson
Category: Outdoor Photographer: Peter Hickson Photo: “Standing firm in the face of Storm Callum” Raw beauty and strength captured in a single frame. Strength of the sea for sure, but also the strength of the lone pillar to withstand the unending beating it receives. But there is beauty here too. Beauty in the color, the form, the motion, and the reminder that we all must stand resolute against the forces that batter against us too. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Category: Outdoor Photographer: Pamela Aminou Photo: “Nature at its best” Excellent use of a long exposure to convey the mood of this scene, and the B&W conversion pulls it all together.

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.

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!
