From horse kisses to benches, waves crashing, contemplation and children laughing, this week has been filled with so many beautiful photos that were captured in the moment.
Thanks so much for the feature, Patrik! You always have a great round-up with these challenges, so much beautiful work gathered together. Thanks for hosting, and for sharing so generously!
Oh wow...I can see why you were so giddy looking at all of the submissions this week - they are truly fantastic. I feel completely humbled to be included in this group, and I shall make sure to share the honor with my friend, who's an awarding winning photographer - a mentor who has taught me a lot.
A lot of truly fantastic photos this week, so much joy and so many interesting takes and in the moment shots, absolutely loved going through all submissions!
Thank you for being a part of it, Jack! I love your submission, it's just so personal in a way and I love that!
Hope that he's happy to see you included right up there with the winner, because it is a well deserved spot!
First, THANK YOU!!!! I've never been a runner-up before!!
Second, I think this has been my favorite theme of all so far. I went through every single entry and LOVE them! Especially the donkeys 🫏 🤣 What a great and diverse topic you put out this time. Thank you Patrik!
Thank you for being a part of it, Kristi! Loved everything about your photo and it deserves a top spot! Glad you loved the theme, it was meant to invite creativity and diversity, which is most certainly did!
Oh the donkeys is one of my personal favorites, love how goofy and adorable they are! 😂
Great choices as always @patrik. Personally I am a big fan of @kristi, @chris and @cameron’s shots. Its so interesting to see how everyone is approaching these themes.
Congratulations to the winner and the runners up (runner-ups?). I am currently on vacation but looking forward to the next challenge. Cheers from Brazil, everyone.
Ah it really was! People just walk by unaware of the surroundings even though it was right by the path. It seems to be there quite often now so must be good hunting ground!
It’s always amazing to watch people walking by some thing and not noticing it at all. I remember once I was standing there watching a baby owl that was literally 5 feet from a walking path, and so many people walked by with headphones on or whatever and didn’t even look didn’t even wonder what I was looking at.
Congratulations to Haley for winning the challenge and to the runners up. Once again, there was an amazing collection of photos submitted. Thanks to Patrik for setting and judging yet another interesting challenge.
