This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s Leaderboard.
In exploring the natural world, one finds order and repetition in many places, and on vastly different scales. From the elaborate structures of snowflakes, or delicately patterned insects, to the geological order of features like the Giant’s Causeway, or waves of huge crescent dunes marching across the desert.
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.
