Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Welcome to the Photography Contest! Here you submit photos you've taken and users vote on which photo they like the best. Submission deadline: April 29th Theme: Pastels Since spring is in full bloom in many parts of the northern hemisphere already, this photography contest will encourage you to find those soft, light colors around and show them to us! The subject of the photo can be anything (following the rules of the forum in general), as long as it presents some light saturated colors know as pastels. Let's channel those spring vibes! 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.
