Welcome to another Pictures of the Week blog. This week there’s been a heat wave, what feels like a million hours of football watched and some fantastic images uploaded to 17³Ô¹ÏÔÚÏß…

Why we think this is great: We’re feeling hot hot hot in the UK this week and we love this point of view shot of a pooch cooling down in the best way we know how…with an ice lolly!

Why we think this is great: World Cup fever has hit hard and we’re enjoying seeing the latest developments popping into the Live News Feed. The action shots are great and very much needed to document the event but we can’t forget about the crowd. People in fancy dress, cheering, laughing and even crying when defeated are great to illustrate the atmosphere of each sporting event.

Why we think this is great:Â This authentic image of a lady with her pet cat taken from above stands out from the crowd. The photograph is harnessing a couple of current stock photography trends, authentic images of people and pets as well as alternative perspectives, both of which are personal favourites of mine so I couldn’t not include it.

Why we think this is great: Quetzal Green is a Pantone autumn/winter colour trend and we love how this photographer has used it to add an elegance to their still life flat lay.

Why we think this is great: There’s still a shortage of high quality authentic images of people actually eating so it was great to see this set of images uploaded this week. If you fancy having a go at filling this gap think real and messy, and make sure you let us know if you upload in the comments below or on .
These 5 images are just a small selection of the great content uploaded this week, you can view a larger selection of our favourites 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.
