Posted May 30, 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~ Ruby Eyes' Cherry Tree jostensminyard's Sunset sh20000sh's Early Spring Dandelion hedy's Dragonfly Lagie's Cloudy Rainbow Submission Deadline: 10th June Theme: Hope With this time of year being exams season for many students around the world, hope can be a difficult thing to keep in the face of mounting stresses and anxieties. At the end of the day, we all need something to keep us going, so what brings you hope in life? Entries may be literally anything, from your favourite pet to something you made via a hobby of your's! 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.

Posted May 30, 2018 I took a photo this morning of our cherry tree which is growing a single cherry this year - the first one I've ever seen on this tree. The hope, of course, is that there will be more in the next years! Share this post Link to post

Posted May 30, 2018 I saw this dragonfly just after it had hatched and watched it sit in the sun, gaining strength to finally fully open his wings. Seeing it definitely brought me hope that sometimes you just need to stay still for a while so you can reach your full potential. Share this post Link to post
