There's many great entries in this challenge even though presence or existence was hard to determine.

Do you get to see the votes for your own photo, when the winner is announced?

0 upvotes

Yes, as well as the spread of votes for everyone else's entry. But you never find out who voted for you. Not even the host knows this information.

Publish a picture which shows anything but a pitch black projection ... there won't be an image without a light, so anything goes !

1 upvote

If light exists in a photograph, it is present. If light is present in a photograph, it exists.

Could you give us an example of what you are looking for? I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'existence' instead of 'presence' of light.
Thanks.

Presence would give you a sunset/sunrise pic(for an eg).

I am looking for existence, means looking at photo you can say "wow look at the light".

There are many good pics entered here, like light coming through clouds, trees and it shows their existence.

Rohit, I will speak for myself, I too did not find clear what you were asking for in this challenge. Much ligt is needed here for the sake of clarity. Going thru the photos, it seems to me that anything goes here. Sorry.
