Open to photographers with a gold or silver ranking. There are two other 'Waterscapes' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the leaderboard for more information on Photocrowd rankings.
As with the bodies of waters themselves, waterscape photography can have tremendous depth. The way you choose to capture the lakes, rivers, oceans or more that you come into contact with can be dramatic, tranquil, or dynamic. In the words of Freeman Patterson: "No other subject offers a photographer such a range of possibilities for documentary and interpretive images, and few subjects are as easy to find.”
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.
