This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s Leaderboard.
Photographing close-up shots of nature is a never-ending joy. Previously unappreciated details are uncovered when we get closer, really look at what’s in front of our camera, and deploy our macro lenses or other macro kit to get around issues of proximity and minimum focussing distances. ‘Nature’ is a broad term, and for the purposes of this contest includes any subject that is not man made.
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.
