The rules are as follows:

  • Entries will accepted until 12:00pm (GMT) Wednesday 13 March
  • Each competition's voting will last for one week. The winner of that round will choose the next theme.
  • All entries must have been taken within the last 6 months and preferably after the announcement of the theme.
  • Entries must be posted as a thumbnail no larger than 700px on the longest edge. Full sized images may be as larger as you'd like.*
  • You must submit only your own photographs, do not post anyone else's work.
  • Only one photograph per person, marked with Final Entry. You can change your entry, but must remove your current entry first and clearly state that you have posted a new entry.
  • You must not vote for your own photograph when the Poll is up. Only vote for a photograph taken by another entrant.
  • The photograph must be submitted with the following information: Subject, Date and Camera used and, if you'd like, the major camera settings - shutter speed, ISO, etc.
*While full sized images may be as larger as you'd like, you should try to limit them to approximately 1200px to enable viewing the entire image without scrolling. It's much easier to see the full effect of the shot when you can view it all at once and not have to pan.

Current theme, chosen by Week #17 winner Boiltheocean
Still life.
With this Boiltheocean is hoping to boost entries by enabling shots that could take only moments captured around the home to be incorporated into the theme.

I have some lovely pictures of plants that aren't quite legal in some areas, so I'll refrain from using those :lol:

I have a few ideas for this one, so I'll start fiddling with some later this week.
 
In the 'old' days, still life was usually some apples in a bowl, with a napkin nearby. Sometimes it was a vase of sunflowers. Put 'still life' into Bing, Google or Yahoo today, and one gets some very dynamic images. Amongst the disturbing static.

Engineering a provocative display of items of course is an exercise in itself - but the good thing is 'still life' gives us lots of time to play with in terms of adjusting light, POV, other settings, etc.

Will try to put something up better today than a shovel and loads of white 🤬 .

Still not happy with anything I have - so I'll actually have to shoot something new. Have we run out of time?
