  Picture of the Month is an article showcasing the best Pictures of the Day from the month before. We take the most viewed photos that were uploaded in the previous month and give you the top 7 more or less...

Another month down, and another selection of amazing shots that have made it into the Picture of the Month. I'd first like to start by clarifying something that gets asked about almost every month. The way the POM works is the photos are ranked by number of views in the month that they're uploaded. It has nothing to do with overall number of views, or when the photo was POD. So if you upload an image on September 30th, and it becomes POD on October 10th, it may have a lot of views in October, but it's only eligible for Septembers POM because that's when it was uploaded. This means that if you have a photo (or a video) that you think has a chance at POM or VOM you should upload it in the first few days of the month, and definitely not at the end of the month. With that said here are the most viewed photos that were uploaded in October...

I ve been planning to go on a photo trip with Kirill ever since I first saw his videos. For me as a central European Russia has always been that crazy and kinda exotic country you probably never get a chance to check out yourself so I was extremely anxious to experience it first hand. When Kirill didn t get the chance to compete at the Rampage we decided to go on a road trip through Russia instead. It turned out to be a 4000km 12 day marathon scouting locations and looking for perfect natural features to shoot. When we found this abandoned mine we knew we had a great backdrop for some otherworldly photos. Kirill flipped the stepdown first try and went down after a couple of metres - this is the second try and he nailed it perfectly I shot it as a panoramic photo to be able to include the complete location which is also why the photo ratio is about 2 1. The original consists of 25 layers and has a resolution of roughly 70 megapixels Make sure to check it out in highres 1600px width for the best viewing experience

 Why are you looking at the makeup and not the Darth Vader mask. Clearly paying attention to the wrong thing.
