Posted August 31, 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: 10th Sept This time, the theme is: Insects! Got an interesting photo of a butterfly or perhaps a local hornets nest? Now's your chance to share them - this contest is all about bugs! Submissions: Lagie's Spider with dinner jostensminyard's Bumblebee Ghostmouse's Black Swallowtail w/ Bee sh20000sh's Dragonflies Alectrona's Caterpillars 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.
