DC Photography Contest #196

[Fly-by-Night]

Welcome to the Photography Contest!

 

Welcome back for another round of the DC Photography contest, come and show us what you've got! 

 

This time, the theme is: Messy 

You really, really needn't get anything cleaned up for this competition.

 

Submission deadline: 10th June

 

Voting deadline: 24th June

 

Submissions:

 

Rules:

- One entry per person.

- A photograph is defined as an image made using a camera or phone camera.

- Screenshots are not allowed.

- 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.

I was sort of moving stuff...then I did the washing, but...

[Lagie]

When we get shop donations, there's always chaos before they get organized.

 

[sh20000sh]

Pigeons.

One of photos that took during trip to Nepal.

 

[Fuzzbucket]

I love pigeons, and also Nepal. I should have taken one of where the swallows crap over everything when nesting in our barn.....

My car was in a shed at the mechanic's for twelve weeks. I refused to pay for what work they finally did until all the bird poop was washed off.

My bookshelf. Not enough room to stack everything properly

[sh20000sh]

I replaced a camera in my room, and just realized my desk is quite messy in this angle. This one is not part of contest I guess.

[Fuzzbucket]

It better hadn't be - the link doesn't work  

 

Actually your pigeons have gone down now, too.... Maybe upload them both as attachments instead of using a link ?

Edited June 2, 2022 by Fuzzbucket

[sh20000sh]

I'm working on that, that link will be back less than a day, I hope.

 

It's working at this point.

[Fuzzbucket]

That's a better MESS than the other - and such a clever photo too.

[Lagie]

Last day for entries! Anyone else joining us?

[Fly-by-Night]

Sorry, work was super-busy last week, and I forgot the deadline.

At this point, I can neither see the messy desk nor the pigeons, but I'll include the pigeons in the poll.

[Fuzzbucket]

I see the bookshelf but not the desk. If the deck shows up I'll download it and repost !

I won't allow it as original creator. Last down was scheduled one anyway.

[Fuzzbucket]

Fair enough - but seems a shame if people who come here to vote can't see it; why not simply upload like everyone else.

[Fly-by-Night]

I was five days late with the voting, so it seems fair to give some extra time - especially as three votes have been cast, for three different pics...

Voting deadline: 24th June.

[Fuzzbucket]

What's odd is that 4 people have voted and there are only 3 voted.... I guess someone else viewed results without voting ?

[BringsTheSnow]

I have voted!

 

May I be added to the list of people who get notified when a new contest starts? I competed last round but missed the deadline for this one.

[Fuzzbucket]

Winner please note when the next contest goes up ! (Or PM @Fly-by-Night)

[Fly-by-Night]

I've added you to the list, @BringsTheSnow.

[Natayah]

BTW, I voted, don't forget to vote and share and enjoy! Always love the art, never know what you'll find each round, and always fun and lovely!

[Fly-by-Night]

Congratulations, @sh20000sh!

[Fuzzbucket]

Congratulations, @sh20000sh. Your desk photo is brilliant, too.

[Fly-by-Night]

I'm especially fond of the white pigeon. It looks like a pigeon-shaped hole in the photo.
