This week's Hot Pic: "Pointing at the Waves," by Alan Shefman, Thornhill, Ontario
Alan took this photo with a Nikon CoolPix 4300 at Daytona Beach, Florida. About this photo, Alan says: "I like the composition of this picture. The gulls in the foreground seem to be the center of attention, but in fact it is the woman in the background who dominates the scene. I like the way the lady pointing off into the distance directs your attention to the little girl playing in the surf."
Hot Pic of the Month: Each month we choose one of our weekly winners to be the Hot Pic of the Month. For our February winner, we chose "Sea Shell," taken by Joseph Wichnick from Middletown, New Jersey. Joseph was more brave about putting his camera in jeopardy than I'd suggest for most photographers, but he got amazing results.
Congratulations to Joseph and to everyone who won the Hot Pic of the Week this month. Keep those entries coming!
