The January challenge marks the first of many challenges in 2024. The response was much bigger than I thought it would be, but I couldn't be happier about it. Let's pick the first winner of the year!
Patrik, I love viewing these challenges! They are always so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for your work and community building. I love that your challenges connect people to art and each other. They are works of art in and of themselves. I haven’t been bold enough to enter a challenge yet because the entries are so professional and stunning. This week’s winner made my jaw drop & I audibly gasped! Maybe I will enter soon just for the boldness and fun of it. 🙂 keep up the great work (as long as it brings you joy)!
Thank you for your kind and wonderful words, Devon! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy the content and community that I create! This weeks winner is amazing, such a stunning photo!
Don't feel that you're not good enough, I guarantee you're far better than you believe you are. I'd love to see your photos, so I truly hope that I get to see a submission from you soon even if you're not sure about it! Because without being a little bold, you'll never know how good you actually are! 😊
What an awesome winning photo - congratulations Stephen (love Lord of the Rings), love this challenge som much and such amazing photographs entered. So pleased to have been a part of it. Looking forward to the next.
Thank you Patrik, I was so pleased to have captured it - I got some others of him sitting on an iris and other plants, but there was something about that particular picture that worked so well. It felt like serendipity.
So many beautiful photos this week! Many more than I expected it to be, which is fantastic and so much fun to see. Please take another look, there's plenty more to see if you didn't even see half of them! The winning photo is certainly stunning, definitely have something about it that just exudes fantasy and tranquility. I love it!
Such beautiful photos what a hard choice!
It wasn’t easy, that’s for sure! But a lot of beautiful photos to look at, so it was worth it!
