This contest is for your spectacular and most colourful photos of scenic views taken over water just before the sun appears in the morning or just after it sets in the evening. Any water such as lakes, oceans, ponds, wet surfaces, etc. is acceptable. Timing is important for obtaining the most vivid colours with lighting and colour being more important than subject matter in the picture. In fact, subjects that distract from the scene are less desirable, so let the light be the theme of your entry. Colour photos only, please.
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
