Inspiration from our Community Network: "The Fine Details"

A few weeks ago we announced a “The Fine Details” photo theme in our community network. Anyone who is a member of our free network could add detailed photos to their photostream, label their photos with the word “details” and then we would feature some of our favorite photos right here on I Heart Faces.

We enjoyed going through your photos! Here are a few of the photos that caught our eye…








































The most amazing part of I Heart Faces for us is everyone’s willingness to inspire, mentor and help each other out as photographers. We’d especially like to thank these amazing photographers for taking the time to inspire all of us by adding their gorgeous photos to our network.

Now...are you ready?!?

Our next Community Network photo theme will be: “Beautiful Sky”


How can you participate?

  • Join our Community Network (it’s FREE!)
  • Upload any photos that you feel fit the theme “Sky” (these photos do not have to have a face in them)
  • Label each photo with the tag “sky
  • If you already have photos in your photostream that would fit this theme, just go back in and add the "sky" tag to them now

That’s it! We look forward to seeing your beautiful images in our photostream soon. :)
