DC Photography Contest #133

[deja]

Welcome to the Photography Contest!

 

Here you submit photos you've taken and users vote on which photo they like the best.

 

 

Deadline: July 6th

 

This time the theme is: Close-up Photography

 

I enjoy close-up photography so I picked it for this time's theme. You can submit photos of anything as long as it's a close-up. Have fun! 😀

 

 

Rules

- One entry per person

- Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra.

- No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.)

- No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo.

- When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness.

- You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition.

- Winner hosts the next contest.

I also like hoarfrost :).

I've been intending to join in here for ages and kept forgetting, but this time I've finally remembered! So here is a daffodil.

[Starphyre77]

Thanks guys. :) I'm going to go with your suggestions, and Hoarfrost is my entry.

[Seriva Senkalora]

Sounds fun.

I want to enter with this snake head portrait I took from one of my lovely grass snakes.
(She is around 30cm in lenght, her head is as small as my little finger's nail, so yes, this picture is a close up. ;) )

Cheers

Aww, thank you! I took it years ago and I've always rather liked it, it's nice to know someone else does too :)
