Welcome to Mini-Challenge #9..!!
This Mini-Challenge topic will be a bit more
challenging, as follows:
Your 3 entries will be storytelling photos. Call them documentary photos, allegorical photos, narratives, call them what you will.
Your entries must clearly tell a story, without the need for any posted text describing the story. Posting technical comments with your entries is fine, but
let your photo tell the story..!
Photos will be judged not on the merits of the content of their stories, but on how effectively the stories are depicted by your entry photo(s).
The overall photographic merits of the photos will factor into the judging, of course.
This Mini-Challenge will be open to entries for two weeks from today, closing on 9-25-17.
Below are the customary posting and commenting rules.
Please, have fun....!!!
Mini-Challenge Rules:
The host gives you a topic and you post up to three images that fit. Any picture you have taken is eligible regardless of time taken or camera.
The host chooses the winners and honorable mentions, and posts those in a new thread. The host's decision is final. Remember, it's all about fun, sharing, and learning. The winner of this challenge then hosts the next challenge, judges the winner of that one, and so on it goes. The winner of this challenge will have 48 hours to post the next challenge. If that doesn't happen, 2nd place will have 24 hours to do so, then it's up to 3rd place.
Submission Posting Guidelines
Post each one of your three submissions in its own reply to this post. Give each post a unique Subject, like, "HCB - Derriere la Gare Saint-Lazare", "HCB - Boy With Wine Bottles", and "HCB - Mexican Ladies". It's best to embed an image in it's post rather than linking to somewhere else (you'll get more views that way). If you want people to give you constructive comments and criticism, ask for C&C. Feel free to post photos "for exhibition only" if you want to share more than three or won't be available to host the next challenge, just let us know that in your posts. Size your images to no bigger than around 1,500 pixels wide or 1,000 pixels tall, so those with smaller monitors can see your image at full resolution. Use a reasonable amount of JPEG compression to limit the file size of your entries so we conserve bandwidth. You can do all the post-processing you want, but try to preserve the EXIF so we can see which camera, lens, and settings were used. If you know the EXIF won't come with the image, let us know that kind of stuff in the text of your post.
Comment Posting Guidelines
Feel free to post comments on the images. If you want to save bandwidth, remove the image from your reply so you just post text. If you would give someone else's submission a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, click on the green "Like?" thumb on the top right of the post, so we know which images were most popular. The host will make up their own mind Feel free to post comments on the images. If you want to save bandwidth, remove the image from your reply so you just post text. If you would give someone else's submission a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, click on the green "Like?" thumb on the top right of the post, so we know which images were most popular. The host will make up their own mind which images best fit their topic without being influenced by that.
Mini-Challenge - Part 2 - Sort of
Folks,
Although there were not many entries to Mini-Challenge #9, picking the winners was a tough call to make because of the very high quality of each of the photos entered.
In the end, I picked the winners based on the entries' adherence to the topic I originally posted, that is, whether or not the entries
clearly told a story.
That said, I very much admire the artistic and technical excellence of
all the entries posted...!!
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks again to all who posted entries....!!
