We’ve got a good mix of indoor and outdoor photography this week. The common thread among them being life and living and our endeavour to capture this in images, with very different results.

Both Completely Disappear and Marilyn (teepee12.com) shot many frames and shared what they felt was the best out of the batch of photos they had taken of the subject. Completely Disappear sought to convey human emotions via still life photography. Marilyn sought to share the beauty of leaves adrift in the breeze. Meanwhile Patti (Phall Photos) told the story of a family clamming excursion using silhouettes in the warm glow of the setting sun.

Come indoors again, and you’ll find 1st world dog Bodhi busted for counter surfing (imagine that!), Torrey (Roxy the Travelling Dog blog) totally relaxed on Mom’s lap and Donna chilling out at the backseat of her car. All dogs, quite distinct and different from each other. And that is what pet photography tries to show, the character that is unique and personal to the dog and its human.

What we end up with is a gallery of our emotions and thoughts towards our external environment – people, family dogs, nature and of course, each individual’s approach to photography. Different people, different geography, living this thing called life and showing you the little bits we see, one picture at a time. I appreciate the variety and the richness in your photos and for sharing them with this challenge :)

This challenge celebrates your best picture of the week. It may be a picture which you feel shows your focus in particular types or formats of photography. It may be a simple image that shares you joy on an amazing holiday. It may be a quick snaps of something in in the air that caught your eye. Whatever it is, it is a picture that you feel is that best/most interesting photo you have taken/edited for the week and which you would love to feature again.
