This is a landscape contest with a little difference - no sky to be included. When the sky is excluded from a landscape photograph, the image becomes more a study of the actual land, its features, and how colours and textures contrast or blend. It is less about the actual view, and cannot become dominated by a dramatic sky. In this contest for rural landscapes, I want you to completely fill the frame with land - no sky to be visible. Bodies of water can be included, but land should feature somewhere in your image. The main points of the brief are rural/countryside images, and most importantly - no sky! I look forward to your entries.
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.
