This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s Leaderboard.
Please read the brief carefully This experiment in compositional technique is asking for images where the main focus of the shot has been placed on or near the edges of the frame. Whilst it may seem counter-intuitive, placing the most important subject near the edge can be surprisingly effective in drawing the viewer’s eye to it. It can work best when a large amount of empty (‘negative’) space is present in the scene, and as a bit of a challenge to the conventional compositional rules it can make for an interesting and engaging approach.
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.
