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! 😊

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.

Not at all, one of the hardest weeks to choose yet! A lot of fun though, but far from easy.

Thank you for taking part!
