Congratulations to essitam, this week’s winner for the Digital Photography Blogs contest Perspective: Looking Out, for her shot entitled “Way out.” We love the moody lighting, the rich color of the bricks, and, of course, the perfect interpretation of our theme. Where does that door lead and what is on the other side? When we look at this photo, it makes us want to know! Great job, essitam!

This week’s contest proved to be a tricky one, but as usual you all did not disappoint. A couple runners up in the group pool also grabbed our attention. Congrats to jennifer222nm for her shot “From Cologne Cathedral” and to Ian McKenzie for his shot “Omega Condo.” Both are beautiful interpretations of our outward theme. Thanks again for all who participated this week. Keep up the great work!
