This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s Leaderboard.
Still life and macro photography are natural buddies, and there’s so much fun to be had when you’re exploring a still life subject with your macro lens, filters or extension tubes. There are surprising textures, shapes and compositions everywhere you look, and often rendering the subject difficult to identify, such is the ability to change how something appears when it is shot close-up.
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.
