Congratulations to Richard Payson of Fort Worth, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. Richard has won our little contest multiple times.  His last win was back in March 2014. He follows last week’s winner, Matthew Cook of Arlington.

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.

Now here’s more from Richard.

Title of photo: A Fine Web

Equipment: Nikon D7100 Body Tamron 16-300 zoom

Tell us more about your photo: It was our last day in Maui and we stopped at a beach to see the waves and the turtles.  My daughter noticed a Hawaiian Garden spider (Arpiope appensa) in a tree and I got several good shots of the spider.  I really liked the colors, the zig-zig line (stabilimentum) across the web and the spider’s willingness to pose for multiple shots.
