DC Photography Contest #204

[GhostMouse]

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: Fresh

 

It's spring! Show me something fresh. 🌱

 

Submission deadline: May 28th

 

Voting deadline: June 5th

 

Submissions:

 

Fuzzbucket's Lambs

Fly-by-Night's Calf

Lagie's Spring Lilies

Chaos Rider's Spring Blossoms

sh20000sh's Summer Skyline

Little-Star's Fresh Water Pond

 

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.

- Hosts may re-use previous themes that have not been used in the last 10 contests.

 

Ping list of people who have competed in the past, which should help them see when there's a new thread if they want to join in: please ask if you want your name added or removed:

Awww, Fuzzbucket, fresh and adorable!! So's this little one. Don't worry, I didn't break into the pasture to take a picture. I'm friends with the farmers.

Ignore the second spoiler box, please, I'm just really bad with them...

Baby animals are tough to compete against but here are some spring lilies on my drive to work.

Summer Skyline

It was taken at few years ago. This bridge is currently restricted due to collapse hazard.

Yesterday, while I was hunting for eggs, the ads showed me a product against diarrhea in calves ... MIGHT just be related to this contest. 😄 (I don't own any cows)

Just a little bump for anyone who still wants to submit a photo! You've got until Sunday.

Fresh water pound

And the poll is open!

 

I'm not sure why some of the submissions in the main post say "unavailable," they're all visible to me. But of course you can see them all in the individual replies, as well.

 

They're all gorgeous pictures. Good luck, everyone!

[GhostMouse]

We have a winner! Congrats @Little-Star! 🥳

 

And thanks to everyone who submitted a photo, I loved seeing all your springtime shots!

[Lagie]

Congrats, @Little-Star!

Thanks for hosting, @GhostMouse!

Looking forward to the next round.

[Fuzzbucket]
