Congratulations to Patrick Mai of Hannover, Germany the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. Patrick has won our contest twice before. His last victory was in July 2016. He follows last week’s winner, Fabio Bonasera of Pisa, Italy.

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.

Flickr Photo of the Week winner, Patrick Mai

Now here’s more from Patrick.

Title of photo: “Colors”

Equipment: Canon 5D Mark IV with the Canon EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

Tell us about your photo: On this day I needed to relax from work and I looked through the window, to my windowsill and finally to my green cactus. A few minutes later my setting for the shot was ready -some flashes, beauty dish, etc.
