Congratulations to Jaron of Fort Lauderdale, FL, the winner of the Flickr Photo of the Week contest. This is the third time Jaron has won our contest. His last win was in August 2016. He follows last week’s winner, Michael Kebede of Garland.

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 Jaron.

Title of photo: “Deep Thoughts”

Equipment: d7100 70-300vc Tamron

Tell us more about your photo: These burrowing owls peek their heads out the ground every morning and this morning I was ready and waiting for them to make their appearance. This guy gave a few minutes to get some shots.
