Congratulations to Allen Sheffield of Grand Prairie, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest! Allen has won our contest before; his last victory came in July of 2011. He follows last week’s winner, Revlimiter.

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.

Allen Square

“My wife, Christine Lites, took this picture of me during our retirement trip to France in 2012”

Now, here’s more from Allen:

Title of photo: Spiderweb with Dew 1

Equipment: Nikon D5100 with a Sigma 70-300 mm macro lens and a monopod

Tell us more about your photo: My wife and I were staying in our little travel trailer at an RV Park on the beach in Galveston. This morning was foggy with no wind, so the 100% humidity made everything wet. It formed water droplets on the webs that were perhaps 100 feet from the surf.

Exif data:
F/8 at 1/250 sec
ISO-400
Focal Length 240 mm (equivalent to 35 mm focal length 360 mm)
