Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Welcome to the Photography Contest!  Here you submit photos you've taken and users vote on which photo they like the best.  ~Entries~ lovecats99's Cherryburn Butterfly Little-Star's Butterfly  Submission Deadline: May 19th Theme: Wings  With summer just around the corner in many countries, nature is slowly waking up from its long winter nap. Thousands of birds have flown home with the arrival of this warmer weather. In celebration of this astonishing feats performed in nature, our theme is wings. These wings are not required to belong to a bird. In fact, creativity is encouraged.  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.  Previous Themes: 1: Beginning anew / 2: Simplicity / 3: Summer / 4: Wildlife / 5: Black & White / 6: Food / 7: Macro / 8: Farewell / 9: Light and Shadow / 10: Urban 11: In the home / 12: Travel Photography / 13: Pets / 14: Red / 15: Coupled Animals / 16: Clouds / 17: Green / 18: Water / 19: Scenic views / 20: Invertebrates 21: Sunrise/Sunset / 22: Purple / 23: Out of Context / 24: Snow / 25: Flowers / 26: Mountains / 27: Old / 28: Birds / 29: Inanimate Objects / 30: New Life 31: Play / 32: Road / 33: Leaves / 34: People / 35.

Posted May 12, 2018 I don't have any good pics with birds flapping their wings about majestically but I do have this one of a very, nice patient Red Admiral (butterfly) taken at Cherryburn last Summer.  Cherryburn butterfly probably shoulda cropped it but oh well Share this post Link to post
Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Butterfly (was taken at Bfly in Brossard, Québec, Canada) that's a building that has thousands of butterflies flying around. I don't even know what kind of butterfly that is Edited May 16, 2018 by Little-Star Share this post Link to post
Posted May 23, 2018 Voting is especially tough when there are two entries and they're both great. Voted! Share this post Link to post
Posted May 23, 2018 Tough choice! Too bad there weren't more entries, really, although that would doubtless only have made it harder to choose! Â I loved the theme, but had nothing to fit it. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 24, 2018 Neither did I. I have some photos of birds, but all are sitting or walking and not really presenting their wings Share this post Link to post
Posted May 30, 2018 Oh boi i'm a winner. Thank you everyone! I'll get right on to getting the next contest set up.  Share this post Link to post
