My first #bicyclephotocontest ended last week, and I was thrilled with the number of great entries that I received. From the nearly 30 photos submitted, it was not easy to narrow down to three, but the winners who will each receive 1 share of @steembasicincome are:
@axeman
His shot of a beach cruiser at sunset is just stunning. The color of the sky is gorgeous, and I love the low perspective of the shot. See his entry post here.
@ileana56
Her photo was taken from a balcony as children in a race passed by. I really like the contrast of colorful bikes and clothing against the grey asphalt, and the markings on the road (as well as the powerlines) add a graphical interest to the shot. Her entry post can be found here.
@holm
Mikkel @Holm is currently on a solo cycling trip from Denmark to South Africa, and I think his self-portrait really conveys that sense of adventure that we associate with a trip like that. The background is beautiful, and I like the way he is standing with his loaded touring bike and looking ahead. Every time I see this photo, I want to pack my bags and head out on a trip. See his post here.
Honorable Mentions
Like I said, I had a really difficult time narrowing down to three winners, so I also want to recognize a few honorable mentions. Something about each of these shots stood out to me as well, so these photographers will each receive a .25 SBD prize. In no particular order they are:
@tattoodjay
I really like the use of selective color, and he has some other nice shots of bikes on the streets of NYC in his post.
@ninahaskin
Her stylized shot of bikes parked on a college campus is colorful and interesting.
@twowheeledmonkey
Logging the miles. Great title and nice shot where the bike is an important element, but the background is the star.
@luigi-the-gnome
Interesting bike, and the canal makes a nice background. The wine case basket is a nice detail, but it would be even better if it were still full of wine.
@ultrabiker
Another nicely composed shot that makes me want to get out and ride. You can’t beat a riverside trail with such beautiful scenery.
I could have added several more honorable mentions, but I had to draw the line somewhere. Overall, the quality of the entries was very good, and I really appreciate everyone who entered and helped spread the word about the contest. I am not sure exactly when, but this is something that I will definitely do again.
The prizes have all been transferred. @axeman, @ileana56, and @holm, it might be a couple days before you see upvotes from your new @steembasicincome shares. You can check the status using the new SBI Member Lookup tool, which you can read about here.
I love this!!! Do you know of the tag #cycling4steemit? I'll be watching for another bicycle photo contest and hope to do more "photo shoots" with mine :) Thank you so much for hosting an awesome contest!
Yes, I almost used #cycling4steemit in the first post, but it was hard to narrow down to 5. I'll definitely use it for the next one, because I would love to grow the contest.
