The photos of the week: February 13-19

Posted by Tom Ryaboi / February 19, 2012

snow shopping cartThe photos of the week collect each of the editor-selected photos of the day into one post for a contest to be decided by our readers. Sponsored by Posterjack, the photographer whose image receives the most votes will be awarded with a voucher code for a 24"x36" poster print of their work.

All the rules and fine-print can be found in the original announcement post on the blogTO Flickr page. One thing to add, however, is that the voting period ends at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, after which the winner will be contacted with the good news.

For those photographers whose images are featured below, please feel free to give us a little information about your shot — i.e. where and when it was taken — in the comments section. Who knows? Maybe your description will sway voters in your favour! Lead photo by Anthony AA

Is anyone at blogTO even looking at what is in the Flickr pool??

Apologies if your photos aren't featured more regularly, but being snotty about other people's work just makes you look petty.

Easy, fella.

Frankly, I could care less about if you choose to use of of my work. I mean, I only had 30 photos total in the pool ...... but to make it easier, I've removed those too.

The point I was making was that each day many many quality pieces are add to the pool from a large group of talented photographers (including those highlighted today). It just seems to me that whoever chooses the daily photos is not exactly putting too much thought into the selection.

It is just a matter of opinion .... and I've never been shy about speaking mine.

It would have been way easier to post the original comment anonymously but I believe in standing up to what you say.

Have a great weekend.

I agree with Sub Art, some of the choices aren't really the best. There are some really great shots in the flickr pool and a few of the ones being chosen are just amateur snapshots.

I just don't understand why vertical photos can't be chosen.

Nobody's hating, dude.

We're ADULTS voicing ADULT opinions.

Perhaps you might be taken a bit more serious if you have something intelligent to add to the conversation.

LOL what's being an adult got to do with it? You're an adult hating on other adults. what good is your opinion? in the end it's still just an opinion nothing else and because it is it wouldn't matter. everyone is a critic. you're just jealous because your photo was not chosen. I mean sure some photos probably don't qualify, but they just have every right to be on here as much as you do. admit it. haterrrr LOL LOL

You know the worst thing about negative nancy haters? Their negativity is contagious.

I just wanted to see some cool pictures but some asshole(subart) has to go start a pointless argument by shit talking other people pictures without anything constructive to add.

Obviously all the pics on here aren't professional quality, pretty much nothing on this blog is, it's still good. If you don't like it start your own.
