Patrik -I want to applaud you for the work that goes into these challenges. Thank you for taking such care and attention to all who submit. Not an easy task to select the top ones. They are all gorgeous shots!
Congrats to Darin. I will be following his work now for sure. Such remarkable photos!
This was so fun, Patrik. Thanks for stirring up some creative excitement for me. I was so touched to see you choose my pic as a runner up. I guess it does pay off to take it slow on runs! Otherwise, you miss so much. 🙃
Thank you for your kind words, Allison! Never easy to choose a winner or runner-ups, but always worth it!
Darin's work is incredible, well worth a follow!
Thank you for participating, your photo is absolutely beautiful and I love how you saw the opportunity as you were out running and took the shot! Amazing work, I love it!
Thank you, Patrik, for the kind words. If I was clean-shaven, you'd be able to see me blushing. Considering some of the outstanding photography featured in this weeks challenge, I am honored to be included.
Congratulations Darin! A worthy winner 🏆 and a shout out to all the other participants. It’s fascinating to see the different interpretations for these challenges.
Patrik, thanks once again for hosting the challenges.
This was such a a fun read especially because I just didn't know what to submit/shoot for this prompt and I ran out of time. Love the submissions here! Some people have such a good eye for composition 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As a follower for a few months now I have to say that this was my FAVORITE one so far. The theme of Lost & Found was so open ended and invited soooo many different versions of it. It made people look further than just a selfie or a mountain lol. LOVED the photos this week.
It was such a fun theme! Might see if I can come up with a variation of it moving forward, could be a lot of fun! Easily my favorite theme so far, I loved seeing everyones different perspectives and interpretations of it and all the amazing submissions!
Thank you Patrik - all of the entries are stunning and there's such a variety of submissions. Looking forward to going through these over the next few days. And thanks for selecting one of my entries as a runner-up. Living in Hong Kong has helped me to appreciate looking up as there is so much going on above eye level in the city.
Your challenges and following your newsletter have really helped boost my confidence with photography as for a long time I felt in the wilderness with it (sounds more dramatic than it really is).
Thank you for being a part of it, Sarah! Your photo is absolutely amazing, I love it! Hong Kong is massive, very tall, so I can see how there's a lot going on above eye level there!
I'm glad it's given you a boost, I always get very happy and grateful when I see what I do give something of value to people!
I am an idiot! Thank you for participating, Amy! I'll definitely update the post! I'm so so sorry for missing it! I honestly though I had bookmarked all submissions!
Awesome 👏🏻 Congratulations to Darin! I loved those shots! Going to go through all of the images when I can (trying to recover from bronchial pneumonia 🙃). Loved Logan's shot of the old barn too. Love all the creativity! Thank you Patrik for all the work and also for the mention 🙏🏻😊
Congratulations to Darin and the runner-ups! I love seeing everyone's amazing work! Truly blown away by the striking images. Be well, everyone! Can't wait to see what's next! :)

Hear hear!!
Completely concur with your message here Allison. The work and time that goes into these challenges by Patrik is amazing.
Wow - Darin's shot is breathtaking. I would love to know how someone gets into a slaughterhouse to take such a photo too!
Thank you for your kind words, again, Sarah! Means a lot!
Would be fun to know how he got in there!

Clean-shaven is overrated, always better with a beard! Haha!
It's a very well-deserved win, it's an incredible photo in every way!
Clean-shaven is too much work, for someone as lazy as me. Again, thank you.
I know that feeling all too well!
Congratulations Darin! A worthy winner 🏆 and a shout out to all the other participants. It’s fascinating to see the different interpretations for these challenges.
Patrik, thanks once again for hosting the challenges.
Very worthy winner! I love seeing how everyone interprets the themes, always so much fun!
Thank you for participating, Mark! Always such a pleasure seeing your work!

This week had the most diversity I think, so many different ways of interpreting the theme and I love it! Hope to see you for the next challenge, Kym!
Hope so too 🙌🏻 I love it!
Black and white photos somehow just looks so beautiful. The winner photo is super.
But also everyone else! Awesome jobe everyone! 😁
Bloom my inspiration to draw!
100% agreed, black and white photos are amazing! Always brings a whole new depth to a scene!
A worthy winner. Hats off to Darin. The fact that the shots are of an abattoir make the images both poignant and heart-wrenching. M
Very worthy winner, Darin's photo is incredible! Poignant and heart-wrenching, couldn't have said it better myself!
