Bi-weekly Photo Comp Week #4

[TB]

​

The rules are as follows:

• Entries will accepted until 11:59pm (GMT) June 23rd.
• 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 between 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 #2 winner ShortAznGuy:

Happiness

Good luck, everyone, and I'll try not to end this one early!

This one is tough, I've already tried a couple of things and have succeeded in nothing but failing miserably.

Edit:
I will shove this one up for now, just in case I can't get anything better.

Not thoroughly pleased with this, but it's something for now. In hindsight, I got the lighting completely wrong and there's some unnecessary stuff in the background, but I guess it's decent for a scramble effort after I couldn't find my preferred subject. *shrug*

 

[Boffin]

Interesting theme - opens up many avenues. 👍

Sunday would be a day too late.

 

[Solo]

And that shows just how tired I am I thought Sunday was the 23rd Looks like I'm missing out this fortnight.

 

[Pagey279]

7 entries this week compared to last weeks 19 with only a few hours to go. Where is everyone?!?

 

[jus1029]

Maybe last week's them was easier, while looking for Happiness seems hard for them.

 

[Ibonibo]

^The themes are large, like happiness can mean food, cars, sports, it isn't necessarely a smiling face. Just post away, better be slight off subject than not post at all

A quick one, hadn't had a chance to get a better one

Looking to portray 'Happiness' visually was a difficult task, and quite a considerable challenge. Kudos to everyone who tried. When I went looking for 'Happiness - I found many things - Love, Pleasure, Relief, Comfort, - but the true emotion of 'Happiness', while easier to capture in prose or poetry, pretty much stymied me when searching to express it in colour and shape.
But, hey, never say die; so here goes - I gave it a shot:

FINAL ENTRY

FWIW - I think all the entries were pretty sublime, though. Great work guys! 👍
