As we near the end of April we’ve reached our 11th pictures of the week post, hasn’t that flown by? This weeks selection is full of character and colour…

Why we think this is great:ÌýÌý is a Pantone colour trend for spring/summer 2018 and it’s used well in this image to bring out the colour of the subjects eyes.

Why we think this is great: Wildlife images are continuously popular with customers and there’s something about the humble Puffin that just makes us smile. This photographers use of a shallow depth of field draws and holds the viewers attention to the little bird and his big dinner.

Why we think this is great: Healthy and green living is a continuing trend not just within our lifestyles but in stock photography too and we have whole host of #17³Ô¹ÏÔÚÏßPicNeeds for the green fingered among you, focusing on plants and gardens. If you capture great shots like this one, take a look and see if you can fill a gap or two.

Why we think this is great: The green and orange colours of this image create a lively, unique and beautiful aerial photograph. Duotones are a current trend within stock photography and we love seeing images incorporating this trend being uploaded. Want to give it a go? Check out this lightbox for further inspiration.

Why we think this is great: The bright colours of this image bring it to life and the analogous colour harmony of purple, pink and red work together to create an aesthetically pleasing image.
If 5 images isn’t enough you can view a bunch of great images submitted in the last week here. Motivated to get uploading this week? If you submit any images you think would be perfect candidates for our next ‘Pictures of the Week’ post, tweet the image refs to @17³Ô¹ÏÔÚÏßContent with the hashtag #17³Ô¹ÏÔÚÏßPOTW and we’ll consider them for the feature.
