Nature photography doesn’t need to be just documentary and the subject doesn’t need to fill up all the space in your photo. Use the blurry background to let the subject stand out but also fill the empty space with a nice looking bokeh. All this can be achieved without putting it together with Photoshop. Experiment with lenses, focal lengths, aperture settings and use the light and its reflections.
Take a look at Henrik's own work to experience the power of bokeh in your nature shots!
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.
