This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Reliant on a strong light source - the sun shining, or an unobscured bulb or flame - shadows are generated whenever light means an obstacle. They offer an interesting challenge to shoot, requiring a shift in mindset as the photographer starts looking for something different, the inferred presence of a subject rather than necessarily the subject itself.
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.
