June rain, tree, man, dog – the beauty of the creation appears to us in simple things. The wonderful photo of our June winner fr. Seraphim from Poland warms us with its authenticity and simplicity and if it whispers, “The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.” (Ps. 23:1)

The winner for May in OrthPhoto Adobe Prize competition is a beautiful photo of Djordje Gajicki (Djole) from Serbia. It shows one of the most important and significant orthodox place in his country.

We are glad to inform you that the wonderful photo of Ewa Onopiuk (evaphoto) from Poland won the contest in April. Congratulation, Eva!

Although it was not a goal of ours to be present on social networks, a while ago we created a page about OrthPhoto on Facebook, and we now have over a 1000 friends there.

It was not an easy task for the editorial team to choose the winner among such beautiful photos nominated in competition for March. Finally, the winner was chosen. His name is Aleksandr Kondratov (Aleksandr) and he won the monthly competition with this marvelous photo.

The clear winner for February is a great picture of Vladimir Eshtokin (Eshtokin) from Russia. The photo definitely gathered the votes of the editorial team. Thank you, Vladimir, for sharing this beautiful spiritual moment. As usual, we asked the monthly winner to tell us something about himself and about the picture.

We are pleased to announce that Larisa Belova (ksenia.belova) from Russia is our first winner in Adobe Prize competition for January 2011.

Orthphoto and Adobe Romania again will reward the best 12 photos of the year. Adobe Prize Competition 2011 will run in two stages. In first stage will be selected 12 photos – one for each month from January to December.

We are trying to organize this year the 4th exhibition focused on a theme which has been long awaited: the Colours of Orthodoxy. Romania. Thanx to partnerships with several institutions, we benefit from material support for the logistics. Each user will submit up to 5 photos. We are going to select the most interesting 200 photos for printing.

Unusual, interesting, touching – these are comments of people who saw “Colours of Orthodoxy. Poland”. The exhibition took place in Centre of Orthodox Culture in Bialystok, Poland. The organizers presented 200 photos by 57 authors. The pictures show places which are important to Orthodox believers from Poland and people connected with Polish Orthodox Church.
