I got this great news today about the photo below.
Our eighth photo contest brings a new opportunity for Smithsonian to see the world through your unique lens. After seven competitions, our editors have seen over 140,000 photographs from more than 90 countries around the world. What makes ...a photograph a Smithsonian winner? Technical quality, clarity and composition are all important, but so too is a flair for the unexpected and the ability to capture a picture-perfect moment.
Congratulations Melanie! I am pleased to inform you that one of your photographs was selected as one of this week’s Editors’ Picks. Each week our photo editors choose the best entries submitted so far to the Smithsonian. We share these photographs with our readers on our Editors’ Picks page.
