Congratulations to John Crisp of Mesquite, Texas, winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. This is John’s first time to win the Art&Seek Flickr gold. He follows last week’s winner,  Michael Hogan of North Richland Hills.

If you would like to participate in the Flickr Photo of the Week contest, all you need to do is upload your photo to our Flickr group page. It’s fine to submit a photo you took earlier than the current week, but we are hoping that the contest will inspire you to go out and shoot something fantastic this week to share with Art&Seek users. If the picture you take involves a facet of the arts, even better. The contest week will run from Tuesday to Monday, and the Art&Seek staff will pick a winner on Friday afternoon. We’ll notify the winner through FlickrMail (so be sure to check those inboxes) and ask you to fill out a short survey to tell us a little more about yourself and the photo you took. We’ll post the winners’ photo on Tuesday.

Title of Photo:  “Into the Light”

Equipment: Nikon D5000, Sigma lens 17.0-50.0 mm, f/2.8

Tell us more about your photo: My wife and I were driving back to Raleigh North Carolina from my mothers in Williamsburg West Virginia. Somewhere along Route 676, we came across this beautiful scene early in the morning just as the fog was beginning to lift. I hope you enjoy this shot as much as I did shooting it and experiencing an amazing moment.
