This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s Leaderboard.
We’ve been cultivating, hybridising and planting flowers for millennia, but for this ranked contest we're focussing on flowers occurring more naturally than this - the native species that exist in the wild, and seed, grow and reproduce entirely of their own volition. Images can be colour or black and white, and anything from close-ups to wider landscapes, so long as wildflowers feature prominently.
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.
