Congratulations to Jochem Herremans, of Antwerp, Belgium, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. This is Jochem’s second win in our contest; his first win was last January. He follows last week’s winner, Timothy Hess.

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 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.

Now here’s more from Jochem.

Title of photo: Spring Bird Sunset

Equipment: Nikon D3200, with a Sigma 17.0-70.0 mm lens

Tell us more about your photo: The photo was taken in Antwerp, Belgium. Near the river Sheldt I saw this tree. The white blossom was beautiful in the sunset. When I was taking some pictures, I saw a dove flying away, this was the moment.  I used my flash to brighten up the white blossoms of the tree.
