This contest is open to photographers ranked 1001+ in this week’s Leaderboard.
Grave markers in the form of tombstones, headstones and gravestones range from the simple and understated, to the ornate and exuberant. Graveyards and cemeteries are special places, and popular for photographers too. They have a feel all of their own - quiet, contemplative spaces where past lives are all around us, honoured in stone and words. The challenge for the photographer can be in producing imagery that is original, given how familiar we are with them.
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.
