This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Applying a minimalist approach to landscape photography is a rewarding endeavour that can produce images with a strong and simple impact. Ask not what could be included, but what could be excluded from the image, and so on your travels look for straightforward scenes that have fewer distractions for the viewer. Landscapes in this context may include water or human habitation, but always with a minimalist feel.
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.
