DC Photography Contest #141

[TerraAnne]

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

Deadline: March 1st, 2018

This time the theme: Signs of affection

 

Please scroll into the comments to view the photos people have submitted, or look to the last post I've added with the full submission list. I apologize for the delay I was in and out of the hospital with 2nd and 3rd degree burns!

 

It can be anyone or anything giving affection to anyone or anything. Some examples   Example 1 and example 2 (sorry closest thing I have of showing affection is playing)

 

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.

Awesome pictures!

water_angel brought in some Kitty Love, so thought I'd bring in some Puppy love.

Okay, so at 8 years old at the time the pic was taken, Aayla's not actually a puppy... but she'll always be my puppy.

Hope you recover quickly, @TerraAnne!

 

Ooh, I didn't know you could add a poll to an existing thread now. That makes things somewhat simpler for this!
