Congratulations to Brad Holt of Denton, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. Brad is a first-time winner of our little contest. He follows last week’s winner, William Billingsley of Fort Worth.

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 Brad.

Title of photo:  “Sunrise with Ducks and a Pond”

Equipment: Canon 5D mkIV with a 50mm f/1.2

Tell us more about your photo: A friend of mine was in a car accident a few weeks ago, so I’ve been taking her to work in the mornings. As a result, I’ve been getting out on the road much earlier than I usually do. One morning I passed by this view on my way to pick her up. I couldn’t stop myself from pulling over to take a photo.
