Photo of the Day: October 14, 2008
Today’s murky PotD — a photo of another photo projected into a full bathtub from Flickr user sintixerr — has a lot of things working together to make it pop out. The cool blue tones go great with the slightly off center shadow of the fountain giving the photo a dark and beautiful feeling. The bubbles give it an unusual eye grabbing texture, and the way they stop just before the shadow is perfect….

Ahhhhh! They’re coming to get you! Today’s formidable POTD from akkleis makes me want to run for the hills. While some of the comments state this reminds them of a Tim Burton movie, the first thing that popped in my head was this “classic ’80s horror movie. The great angle and framing used for this shot and terrific textures turn this into a grabbing, frightening image….

Today’s trippy PotD comes from Flickr user soleil1016. The contrasting black and white videos make my head want to explode and do what the woman in the photo is doing: give Ms. Digital a big giant hug! Awesome lines and framing make this an eye grabbing shot….

Today’s POTD features a sweet pair of Adidas Gil Zeros in the Redskins colors/Chocolate City style, from Flickr user dharmabumx. With the Cardinals defeat in the rear view mirror, the ‘Skins are gearing up for the clash with longtime arch enemies the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at 4:15 p.m….

Photo of the Day: September 16, 2008
A big group of Flickr contributors went out to capture images of last night’s Harvest moon. It was difficult to choose just one, but today’s POTD from Flickr user erin_m is a striking example, with the bright sphere hovering over the Capitol building. I see the moon behind the shadow of the cloud, ready to pounce. We’ll see if we can’t post some more Harvest moon shots later on….

Photo of the Day: September 9, 2008
I really like the effect of today’s Photo of the Day from Flickr user ebreidy. This is pulled off by using a selective focus lens called a Lensbaby. The way the focus is placed and the subjects’ positioning of the legs really gives you the feel it was captured as she was falling. Great black and white treatment pulls it together with a hint of mystery. EXIF….

Check out this mysterious shot from Flickr user gbmcinephoto. The subject itself is great: where is this person going? What has his day been like? Is it the end of the day and he just wants to escape? Or did he just wake up, no doubt worrying his day is not exactly off to a great start? Great mood, tone, and framing; it’s an image that really pops out and makes you think for…
