Congratulations to Michael Hogan of North Richland Hills, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. Michael is a first-time winner of our contest. He follows last week’s winner Robin Washburn of Dallas.

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 Michael.

Title of photo: Sunset With Big Tex

Equipment: Canon SX50 PowerShot camera

Tell us more about your photo: I was standing at the main entrance to the Tower Building Food Court at the time. I probably took around 30 similar photos over a 10 minute period, but I liked this one the best because I caught the jet. I just can’t pass up the chance to photograph an interesting subject in silhouette with a beautiful background.
