Best Photo "Contest" Ever
Category: Photos of Interest
Posted on: January 28, 2008 8:13 AM, by Joseph j7uy5
There are no cash rewards, and no instant fame. But I have
looked at a great many "best photo" series, and this is the most
enjoyable. Why? Because every single one of the
photos is in the public domain.
It's the Wikipedia Commons Picture of the Year series. The page is in German. My German is über-rusty, but it scarcely matters.

Hooray for public domain image archives!
Too many of the image archives have been bought up by private interests, and there are now only three major players. Bill Gates personally owns Corbis, which now includes the huge former Bettman Archive. Let's hope he doesn't manage a solo buyout of the Getty Archive (the biggest), which went up for sale last week.

Neat! I also just noticed that the #20 image was taken in George W. Childs State Park in the eastern Poconos of Pennsylvania -- a gorgeous park with many opportunities for exploration and learning as well as lots of fun for kids.
When I was a kid (back in the late '40s through '50s) our extended family met annually there for our "Mountain Day" picnic in early October. I've swum in that pool below the falls.

That photograph is absolutely marvelous! Until I looked closer, I thought it was an O'Keiffe flower painting. It is amazing what one can do with rocks, if one puts one's mind (and camera) to it.

Thanks very much!
A beautiful collection of near surrealistic enjoyment!

Hi,
There are actually links to version of the page in other languages at the top of the page. Here's the link to the English language version.
