An image of a mayfly on a blade of grass has been awarded the POTW accolade this week. 

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

The image is by ePz member SWMahy and is simply called 'Mayfly'. Here's why we thought it deserved to win this week's accolade:

This is a lovely, sharp portrait showing all the intricate lines and details on the mayfly's body and wings. The bright green of the blade of grass it's resting on and pastel bokeh background make this a really fresh looking image. 

The image is well composed to place the mayfly in the middle of the frame and its positioning allows it plenty of breathing space despite the close-up nature of the capture.

POTW winners currently receive a 64GB Samsung MicroSDXC card with SD adapter. See all the images which have won the accolade in the POTW gallery.
