This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Plants and flowers make wonderful and rewarding subjects for abstract photography. It usually, but not always, relies on getting closer to the subject and removing surrounding distractions. Shot on a still day, their inanimate nature means that time can be spent exploring different angles, distances and compositions. Some images will be recognisable, others will leave the viewer disengaged from the subject, and focussed more on the colours, forms and textures. All plants, including trees, are fine for submission.
Ranked Contests are a weekly chance to compete alongside photographers of a similar Leaderboard ranking. Three contests with the same theme run at one time - for photographers ranked 1-250; 251-1000; and 1001+. They open Saturday morning after that week’s leaderboard has been updated, and are open for 5 days. They are Premium Contests, Expert-judged, but with no Crowd vote, so are worth 3x the standard ranking points.
This contest is expert judged only with no rating by the crowd. You will be able to find out how you did when the judging or rating period has closed.
