Here’s a photo of a dog running through the snow with a backpack on his back. by fPat (license) What more could you want? Snow (great backdrop), a dog (cute), wearing a dog backpack (even cuter), a mystery object on the floor (what is that!). Fantastic! Seriously, even though I’m joking, there’s a fair bit [...]

Here’s the very first photo featured on Fantastic Photos: by Hamed Saber (License) What a beautiful photo it is.
