Posted July 24 (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: August 11th This time, the theme is: Still Life Wikipedia says, a still life is "a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter". Who says that work of art can't be a photo? Voting deadline: August 25th Submissions: Little-Star's Wrong kind of pasta Lagie's Starting breakfast sh20000sh's Grade scrabble Aqub's Old tools GhostMouse's Seaside Gentian water_angel's Still life exhibit in a museum 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.
