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: 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: Francine Savoie-Jansson
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Francine Savoie-Jansson "Great Grey Owl, Hearst, Ontario," Those eyes! Photographing a Great Grey Owl has been on my bucket list for a long time. Congrats to Francine for getting to experience one of these majestic birds in person. The intensity in those eyes is what brought me up short when seeing this photo the first time, and it has not lost its power since. Nice job of separating the subject from the very busy background, which could have reduced the impact of the photo. Instead, the surrounding … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Francine Savoie-Jansson
Photographer of the Day: Joe R
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Joe R "Zebra Longwing" I love the fragile beauty of butterflies. Joe did a fantastic job of isolating the Zebra Longwing from the background, while simultaneously catching it in action and having just the right parts in sharp focus. The shock of yellow flower adds visual interest, and leads the eye into the photo, and up to the butterfly. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Photographer of the Day: George Adkins
Category: Wildlife Photographer: George Adkins "Costa's Hummingbird" I'm always in awe of photographers who can capture the fleeting movements of the hummingbird. I've only succeeded by staking out my feeder, so my hat's off to George for catching this one visiting a flower. Thank you for your patience and 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: George Adkins
Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Andrew Slater "Atwater Ice Bridge" The colors are amazing, but the contrast between the icy textures and smooth water is what keeps me looking into this photo. What made me choose this photo though was the excellent composition formed by the icy arch, the sweep of water underneath, and how it draws the eye into the water, under the bridge and out to sea toward the sun. Excellent work! Thanks for sharing with our group. Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. You can be the … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Andrew Slater
Photographer of the Day: Thibault Poriel
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Thibault Poriel "Petit Oasis" Changing your perspective and seeing the world from a new angle is a great way to create a photo with impact. This type of birds-eye view is the most compelling part of drone photography to me. Just seeing from a new angle is not enough, you still need to create a composition that makes people pause. I think Thibault has done a great job of that here. The blue of the water immediately catches the eye, and provides great contrast against the yellows, reds, and greens … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Thibault Poriel

Photographer of the Day: Richard Hurst
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Richard Hurst "Fence" I love the abstract nature of this photograph! This falls into the category of photos I wish I took. From the "S" curve of the fence snaking up the hill to the contrast of fence against the snow, I just love everything about it. This is a photo I would love to see printed up large for more people to enjoy. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here.

Photographer of the Day: RM Parker
Category: Outdoors Photographer: RM Parker "Helvellyn Morning" It doesn't always work to include the sun in a photo, but I really like it in this photo. Perhaps it just feels right within the context of the scene, because when you ascend to the mountain top you're right up there with the sun. It also works with the contrasty light falling on the cairn, the rocks, and the peaks fading into the distance. It just conjures the feeling of being above the tree line with nothing to protect you from the harsh light shining down. Thanks for … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: RM Parker
Photographer of the Day: Donna Martin
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Donna Martin "Mesa Arch Sunrise" Mesa Arch is an amazing place to catch a sunrise. Sure, it is frequently photographed, but that's only because it is so breathtakingly beautiful. Don't go there just to take the photo, but to experience being surrounded by nature's awesomeness. And, while you are there, take some photos. Be sure to get there early if you go during peak visiting times, as photographers will start to stake their claims hours before the sun comes up. Bring a thermos of your favorite morning … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Donna Martin
Photographer of the Day: Andy van Dyk
Category: Outdoors Photographer: Andy van Dyk "_ADN2877" I don't think I've included pets in a POTD before, but I think this one deserves the recognition. Andy van Dyk did a great job capturing this beautiful dog. The alert look, the one ear up, all the while gazing into the distance are all working to make this a great portrait. The out of focus background just makes the dog leap off the screen. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. You can be the Photofocus Photographer of … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Andy van Dyk

Photographer of the Day: Andre vd Meulen
Category: Nature Photographer: Andre vd Meulen "Golden trees" Such a magical quality to the light! This photo feels as though it was taken in Middle Earth, or some equally enchanted place. I'm certain elves appeared in the scene shortly after this was taken. Aside from the amazing light, the contrast of the gnarly-rooted and multi-trunk tree against the orderly rows of trees behind it lend the feeling of a robed-wizard commanding an army in formation. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Andre vd Meulen

Photographer of the Day: Selkii’s Photos
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Selkii's Photos "The Harem - Tule Elk at Point Reyes" A great use of the panoramic aspect ratio. With a gray overcast sky overhead, all the visual interest was on the ground, and there is a lot to see! That bull elk has quite the following. So many levels of brown, but the lighter color of the grasses provides perfect contrast for the dark brown of the bull's antlers. This would be wonderful as a large print, so that you could take in all the detail. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Selkii’s Photos

Photographer of the Day: Ramunas Kr
Category: Wildlife Photographer: Ramunas Kr "In the Eye" I do have a thing for owls, and especially their eyes.

Photographer of the Day: Baspherical
Category: Nature Photographer: Baspherical "-BASK4188-" Sometimes simple is best. A simple subject, shot against a wash of color, can combine to create a completely satisfying image. I love that the flower is on the verge of opening, and the background is a vibrant green, which speaks of hope and newness and good things to come. Thanks for sharing with our group!

Photographer of the Day: Fabio Mancini
Category: Nature Photographer: Fabio Mancini "Bubbleflower" I love this technique. It is a real challenge to nail focus exactly where you want it, so it definitely requires patience on the part of the photographer. The shallow depth of field that results makes the surrounding flowers a wash of vibrant color. Nicely balanced composition gives the eye cause to wander around the frame. Thanks for sharing with our group! Originally shared on the Photofocus Group on Flickr here. To learn how your work can be featured on the Photofocus, … [Read more...] about Photographer of the Day: Fabio Mancini
