In the last calendar week of 2024, we were greeted by mighty-looking ships, great spotted woodpeckers warming themselves in the sun, lonely snow-covered hills and sweet berries that made our mouths water.

"Sunset V was created with the aim of showing the elegance and monumentality of a ship in interaction with light and shadow," recalls pic (alias Joachim Hertwig). The diagonal composition emphasizes the dynamics, while the black and white implementation highlights the metallic structure and contrasts. A calm atmosphere is created by the setting sun.
Sweet seduction

Fruits in vibrant colors rain down on a spoon covered in fine sugar dust. The dynamism of the falling fruit contrasts with the deep black background, which makes the bright colors stand out even more intensely. A sweet temptation that falki 50spresents ready to eat.
Fun in the snow

During a snowfall, a badger leaps through the glistening snow. Fine flakes fall down onto its fur. The animal seems to be having fun in the snow, while Peter-Engel-Photographie manages to take this unique picture despite the adverse weather conditions.
Park festival

At the turn of the year, Hermi1 presents a picture from a park festival in Puchberg am Schneeberg. The exploding, colorful fireworks are clearly visible, the colors are well defined by the dark, clear night sky. A picture that impressively reflects the moment of festive joy and new beginnings – Happy New Year!
The longing for freedom

Framed by the high facades of an inner courtyard, the view opens up to an open sky, which is impressively staged by the precise composition of the picture. In this picture by Dbooker, a bird awakens in the viewer a longing for freedom.
Afternoon sun

A great spotted woodpecker rests in the warm afternoon sun, its place on a tree flooded with golden light. The razor-sharp image of The Dyer reveals every fine detail of its magnificent plumage.

This picture shows a minimalist winter landscape: isolated trees stand alone on a snow-covered hill in Königsberg, fascinating in its silence and simplicity. The place dg9ncc calls'King's Hill' becomes an elegant winter image thanks to the composition and the white and grey colors.
