This week's images present works of art created through montage, from inner turmoil to a crescent moon framed in contrails, and landscape and animal photography are not neglected either.

Eisvogel

The bright orange belly of the kingfisher forms an impressive contrast to its blue back. With its head raised, it looks towards the sun as it sits relaxed on a branch. The fine patterns of its plumage are clearly visible in Carl-Peter Herbolzheimer 's photo.

Shake Head

In this portrait, the photographer dermaeus artistically stages himself. In his personal creative room, he struggles with tinnitus and unilateral deafness. To depict his inner turmoil, he placed a white mist over his face. It looks as if he is shaking his head – "Shake Head".

Pyramids of Giza 5

Golden light bathes the architecture in the"Pyramids of Giza 5" series by DiSe.fotografiein a fascinating atmosphere. The contrast between the sand-colored monuments and the deep blue sky enhances the impressive presence of these ancient architectural wonders.

A group of four rowing across the lake early in the morning. Their sharp silhouettes stand out clearly against the landscape, in which the soft pink sky is reflected in the water. Uschi Hermann 's photograph radiates a meditative calm and perfectly captures the special atmosphere of the moment.

Knitting ends

Breidtinden, the highest mountain in Senja, Norway, rises majestically in the landscape, while bright green northern lights dance above it, transforming the sky into a magical light show. The fjord lies in the foreground of the scenery and completes the impressive natural picture. Kosh_hh masterfully captures this fascinating natural spectacle of Norway.

Flight studies

Two sparrows flutter eagerly in search of food. The photographer has dynamically staged their wing movements. The shot illustrates their flight behavior and the blurred background draws the eye to the birds. Lightp captures this moment in his flight studies.

MoonPlanes

K P K combines two shots with identical focal lengths to create a fascinating composition. He artfully frames the glowing crescent moon with the contrails of the planes ("MoonPlanes") and places them at the center of the picture.
