Today, our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day is Andrew, who is registered on the DPNow forum and galleries as fiver49.
Apart from the fact that Andrew hails from Oregon, and that he is a Nikon D40 user, we actually know little else about him. Andrew registered on DPNow on the 20th September last year, uploaded ten above average pictures to his gallery and posted a handful of forum messages, but a week later he logged in to the site for the last time. I've tried to contact Andrew, without success. I do hope he's OK and continuing to enjoy his photography. It's such a shame when talented people lose touch with the site!
I chose Andrew's lava flow mono with selected colour shot as it's striking and imaginative. Dark sky and the fluffy cloudscape work well, with the rocky outcrop filling in the base of the frame nicely. The delicate green of the evergreen leaves looks good against the lighter and darker tones. I like the composition as well, with the greenery to one side.
Hopefully, Andrew will notice his POTD here and get in touch!
You can see more of Andrew's work in his DPNow gallery - and it's well worth a look.
Would you like one of your pictures featured on DPNow's POTD?
We are always on the look out for great pictures posted to the user-galleries here on DPNow. POTDs are selected from the gallery and featured every week day. The gallery facility here is completely free; all you need to do is register as a user on our discussion forum and you will get an automatic 25MB of space, which is good for around 125 pictures uploaded at web resolution, about 200K per picture. At the time of writing we had just over10,000 pictures on the galleries and it's well worth a browse.
Picture of the month
At the end of each month we will select our favourite image of the month and declare a Picture of the Month.
The DPNow Golden Gallery
Our ultimate accolade, the DPNow Golden Gallery, is reserved for what we feel are the very finest images. We invite anyone to submit their pictures for inclusion in the Golden Gallery. Why not have a look at the Golden Gallery submission form? The vast majority are usually rejected, which is why we feel that the ones we do feature are extra special.
