That's right...and another chance to win a BPN hat, too!
This time the theme is... ABSTRACTS!
Get in close and find something interesting...a repeating pattern...cool colors...interesting shapes...just make sure it's got an abstract feel to it!
And it's always okay to use post-processing techniques to enhance your image but no special treatments are allowed in this contest - keep the twirling filters and other special effects for the OOTB forum photos! We want to see what you can find "in camera" that makes for an interesting abstract. Also, the image must be based on something found in nature - no fair using manmade objects as your subject for this contest!
How to participate:
Create an abstract image between July 4th and July 6th (this is a holiday weekend for those of us living in the United States so many of us should be able to get out there with our cameras - although all our friends abroad are encouraged to participate as well!)
Post your best abstract image on Sunday, July 5th before midnight GMT (ONE ENTRY PER PERSON) and put "Abstract Challenge: (Name of Photo)" in the title so we know it's being included for judging. You may continue to post non-abstract photos during this time - just use a regular title, instead.
Vote for your favorite image between Monday, July 7th and Thursday, July 10th. ONE VOTE PER PERSON PLEASE! Leave your vote in the comment section of the entry you like best by proclaiming "This is the winner!" The one with the most winning comments will be announced on Friday morning, July 11th and wins a free BPN hat and bragging rights! :D
So fire up those lenses and start thinking about where you might find your winning abstract entry!
Note: Anyone may participate in this challenge (including moderators) but only non-moderators are eligible to win the grand prize and bragging rights.
