You can do a lot with post-processing your photos in a program like Lightroom. For example, in the banner photo I did a split toning technique. Maybe you are a fan of this technique, too? Or maybe you know other nice methods to achieve an interesting mood in your pictures. I would be happy if you also mention the technique you used in the picture description.
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.
