Congratulations to Michael Hogan of North Richland Hills, winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. Michael has won our contest multiple times. His last win was back in May. He follows last week’s winner, Rajesh Jyothiswaran of Murphy, TX.

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:  “The Wine Garden”

Equipment: Canon SX50 HS Power Shot camera

Tell us more about your photo: The Wine Garden is located next to the Go Texan Pavilion and it’s a popular place for (Texas State Fair) fairgoers to sit down and relax for a few minutes in the shade.  I took this photo with my Canon SX50 HS Power Shot camera.  The sight of the beautiful clouds combined with the colorful umbrellas made me want to sit down, look up and take the shot.
