My first try for that contest. Since the theme is open i tried to have 3 different genre, my first entry is a street photography of my home town, i guess i kind of miss it. Hope u will enjoy ;)

[daveks]

Thanks for your entry @seriouscrocodile!

My second proposal. While i was traveling in India, i had the chance to roam the country by train, which is in my opinion one of the best way to travel in India. Hope you will enjoy that portrait i stole from that exhausted lady :)

My final entry, a picture i took a while ago also, when i was working in the alps of France, high above the clouds, it seems that the mountain is rising from a sea of clouds, it is always impressive to see and it make you feel so small.

[jamila-ym]

I really appreciate "Kid Friendly" I feel Non-Kid Friendly photos should always have their own category marked. It would give warning to the folks who have children often standing by the PC especially when you use your 60 inch as a monitor.

[daveks]

I agree. Well said!

[margaretwise]

Coming back from Missouri I was thinking about you. Especially when I was passing from the very distance great old barns. I like that atmosphere :) thank you. Upvote

[daveks]

Thats great!
Will you have an entry for the contest @margaretwise?

Cool idea.
I did a nice bw pic today and added #bwphotocontest to the hashtags.

[daveks]

Yes that works @detlev, entered!

[roundoar03]

I don't own a "real" camera, but love taking pictures and playing with filters on my phone. I don't want to insult anyone or claim to be a great photographer because I know I am not. Can I still enter the contest of should I leave the photos to the pro's with legit cameras?

[daveks]

This contest is for EVERYONE @roundoar03!
Lots of my photos are done with a Samsung S7 edge!

[roundoar03]

Thanks for the response. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt submitting something unworthy. I will get to work on something.

[daveks]

Sounds good!
