2. One by One by D.R. Keck Photography
The premise behind this photo is absolutely cool. Per the photographer: "I have been working on this image for awhile taken back on Oct 28 2015. this is a composite of 200 images with basically each leaf you see falling a seperate image stacked, aligned, and the background masked out except for the leaf. The image was made over a 15 min time span as I waited for a leaf to fall out of the tree..." The result is a phenomenal picture!
1. Stout's Point by Josue Enriquez
Josue Enriquez (facebook.com/josueenriquez) has really inspired me with his photography this year. This photograph of Stout's Point at Petit Jean State Park is another fine example of his excellent work. Much thanks to you Josh, and please keep sending the shots in 2016!
Just thinking about 2016 and all the cool and amazing photography that’s going to be shared is exciting. We absolutely can’t wait to see what you’ve got to show us, Arkansas. We want to see it all; so send all of the scenic, the mysterious, and even the most humorous of pictures taken around the Natural State you can take!
