This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Red in nature, the warning colour, the poisonous berry, the fly agaric toadstool, the red hot chilli. And the colour of ripeness, of ready-to-eat cherries and rosy apples and fat strawberries, of leaves ready to fall. And red as a way of standing out, being attractive, the red rose, the macaw parrot, and a field of poppies. There’s nothing that makes an image sing like a splash of red.
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.
