Flickr Photo of the Week

Congratulations to Sonja Quintero of Dallas, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Sonja joins the three-time winners club; she last took home the trophy in August. She follows our previous week’s winner, John Johnson.

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 Monday to Sunday, and the Art&Seek staff will pick a winner on Monday 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 Wednesday.

Now, here’s more from Sonja:

Title of photo: The Unmasking

Equipment: Nikon D80

Tell us more about your photo: I took this photo with a long exposure and layered two additional images into Photoshop to create the wallpaper effect in the background and to add a vignette with a black border, which gave it a more vintage look. I wanted to do a portrait with some movement also. I think overall it has an old world, almost spooky feel!
